What it does
Charging the right sales tax on memberships gets complicated fast. Rates differ between states, provinces and countries, and they change over time. Keeping a manual rate table current takes effort and leaves room for mistakes. This plugin hands that job to AvaTax. When a member checks out, the plugin requests the correct tax for their location and adds it to the order, so the amount reflects current rates.
It is built as an extension for sites already running Restrict Content Pro, and it works alongside your existing membership setup rather than replacing any part of it. Transactions are recorded with their tax details, which gives you records tied to membership purchases when it comes time to file. Customers see the tax calculation at checkout, so the final amount is clear before they pay. Configuration is aimed at site administrators and developers, with documentation to guide setup.
Best for
- Membership sites running Restrict Content Pro
- Subscription businesses selling to members in many regions
- Developers building tax-aware membership sites for clients
