# Tax Management

Automate tax calculations at checkout by connecting a supported tax integration.

## Overview

Tax management integrations handle sales tax, VAT, and other tax calculations automatically during checkout.

## How It Works

When a customer reaches checkout, the tax integration determines the correct tax amount using several factors:

| Factor                  | Description                                                                                    |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Product type**        | Different product categories have different tax rules (e.g., digital goods vs. physical goods) |
| **Customer location**   | Tax rates vary by country, state, and municipality                                             |
| **Current regulations** | Tax laws change frequently — the integration stays up to date automatically                    |
