Why is the product tax rate not calculated correctly at checkout after I installed the plugin?

Please check in the backend whether you have assigned one of the common Canadian tax definitions (GST+PST/QST, HST, TAX-FREE, GST only) to the product.

Why is tax not calculated on shipping fees at the checkout page?

In the backend Shipping settings, you need to assign one of the common Canadian tax definitions to each Shipping Method.

Why are taxes calculated correctly only when the customer’s shipping address is in Canada?

According to Canadian tax law, the applicable tax rate must be determined based on the customer’s shipping address, not the billing address or the customer’s registered address.

I run a cross-border international e-commerce website, and only some of my customers are in Canada. Do I need this plugin?

According to Canadian tax law, you are required to remit taxes to the Canadian government. However, since some products in Canada are tax-exempt and some only require GST, if you are not able to set up these special tax rates for Canadian products separately, you do not need this plugin. Otherwise, installing this plugin may cause conflicts in tax calculations for your sales to other countries.

How can I require users to select a province when registering?

In the backend, go to "Settings → Countries", find "Canada", click to edit, navigate to the "Address Handling" tab, and check the option “State/region required”. Then save your changes.
