cryptopay question

[mbleigh]

I'm a newbee, forgive me for the simple question. I'm working on a new dog wash business and they provide cryptopay as the credit card payment option. I'm in Kentucky and Kentucky wants me to charge sales tax on the service (long story but pet grooming and anything remotely close to it, they have enacted a new law you have to charge sales tax) Is that something I can configure; I assume on the backend (maybe worldpay?) to charge the tax on each swipe?

Is this a self-service dog wash? It would only require you to reverse-figure what portion of what you charge needs to go to sales tax. People who have to pay sales tax on vending do it that way, they just charge whatever flat amount for the item and pay the appropriate tax.

No. You can not configure the swipers to add sales tax. Can only set start price, max price, value per coin, count up/down.

It would be like a gas station - Pay at the Pump- Sales tax is figured into the pump price.

Thanks everyone. I was overthinking it I guess.

If crytopay could add a feature on their software to automatically reject any card that requests a chargeback I'd be a fan.

Having said that, I don't give chargebacks a second thought. Most of the time I don't even bother to open the envelope.

You could add a decal that states the sales tax is included in the price.

Definitely, that's what I was thinking as well. "Prices include 6% state sales tax". That should be good enough.

I have spoken to Cryptopay about this numerous times. On my Unitec Portal I can check a box and add in the sales tax % if I want to add to the price. I think if we all get on cryptopay about this it should be something they can add. Yes we can just adjust the amount charged but it would be nice if we could just have the specific % charged out.

For $3.00 I don't bother and frankly even for gasoline I usually lose so from a cost benefit standpoint it's not worth it. BUT I want to cost them more time than it is worth for them and preserve any record for refunds if there is ever a class or government action so I always fa back a protest.

I was originally confused because the state has a requirement that if you charge a customer sales tax, you have to provide them a receipt that shows they paid sales tax. Since it's one flat rate for the self dog wash, I'm thinking it's flexible enough to simply post a sign that says 6% sales tax is charged but I would like to see it included on a receipt.

If you need to provide a receipt then you can get the Go Green online receipt service from Crytopay.

I ran into that info later, which is great. Thank you. I was just trying to see if their receipt (online from Go Green) could show the tax they paid. But I guess a physical sign saying how much was included in the cost is fine.

Does the receipt need to break out the cost and the tax or simply say "Includes Tax" .
