During order checkout, the anonymous user will be required to login. Once logged in,
the tax exemption status of the anonymous user (based on whether s/he clicked and
provided details in the Claim Tax Exempt link) will be transferred to the logged in user. The
logged in user then gets the same tax exemption status for all orders placed.
When anonymous user claims tax exempt and the order becomes tax free, the operator
can override this in the Quote Editor by changing the tax exempt status of the order. The
Order Summary Page lets operators view an anonymous user’s tax exemption claim and view
the uploaded certificate (PDF).

Show item level tax in Shopping Cart: Check to show buyers taxes for each item in an order (in
an “Item Tax” column) rather than only for the total order. This setting applies both to Digital
StoreFront's internal taxation system and to external tax integrations.
External Tax System Integration
Digital StoreFront enables integration with an external system for calculating taxes on orders. The
external system will calculate the tax based on the details of the order, such as order gross amount,
products, and the local tax governing authorities for the shipping origin and destination.
What is external tax system integration for? When should you use it?
Using a third-party taxation engine rather than
Digital StoreFront’s built-in tax engine. To connect to a third-party tax engine that
might better suit your organization’s taxation
needs (e.g., for accounting and reporting
purposes).
