How are you collecting payment?

Unless this is how the tax for this type of good works legally, we wouldn't have any way to make this happen automatically, you'd need to programmatically control when to collect tax (and possibly how much, depending on what you use)

This is how tax is collected for precious metals however their was not option for precious metals when filling out the product type i will be selling for tax information on the stripe site

In that case you'd want to programmatic enable/disable tax collection as needed.

Note that the rules for this may vary by state, so ensure you speak with a legal advisor to ensure you comply with all laws/regulations.

for example, this shows me what you say might be true in eg Florida, but now everywhere: https://bullionexchanges.com/learn/taxation-precious-metals-irs-reporting

(just as an illustration)

[sonic holly]

yes I see. Could you send me some information that would help me set up a programmatic way to augment sales tax per each state requirements?

[slim tapir]

I cannot provide advice on that. Using Stripe Tax is generally the way to go, but you might need to write into support about your specific product categories.

Otherwise, you'll need to track customer locations and ensure proper tax code adherence on your payments by calculating the correct tax amounts
