This article guides you through the various online sales settings to help you manage and streamline your sales in your online store.
Where do I manage this?
You will find your store settings in Online Sales.
You can access the different settings sections through the left-hand side menu, or directly from the set up checklist on the online sales Home screen.
You can change these settings at any time, and perfect them before making your store available to the public (going 'live').
Tax settings
You can set up the tax for your items through Online Sales > Tax settings.
Integrated websites
If you have an Artlogic Database, the tax that displays at checkout will come directly from the Artwork record > Financial tab > Retail price & tax > Tax rate of the artwork record.
Publication and other product records
The Base Tax rate will apply to all publications and products unless the Publications or Other Products tax overrides are indicated in the sections highlighted below.
Standalone websites
Artwork, Publication, and Product records
If you do not have an Artlogic Database, the Base Tax rate will apply to all items unless the Artwork, Publication, or Other Product tax rate overrides are added to the sections highlighted below.
Artwork records can be customised individually in Artwork record > Tax rate > Customise tax rate.
Multiple tax rates
If a shopping cart has two artworks with two different tax rates, the following will occur:
Example: Shopping cart

£20 — 20% Tax/VAT rate applied in Artwork record (20% of £1,000)
Artwork 2
£1,000
£15 — 15% Tax/VAT rate applied in Artwork record (15% of £1,000)
£35 = Total tax/VAT charged

Currency conversion
