Learn how to manage taxes and additional charges in SalesPlay POS to ensure accurate billing for your products and services.
Types of Taxes
SalesPlay allows you to apply two distinct types of taxes:
1. Included in the Price
The tax is already included in the product price. Customers see the final price, and no additional tax is added at checkout.
2. Added to the Price
The tax is not included in the product price and will be added during billing.
Note: As part of the new restructuring, the “Invoice Tax” function will be removed. You can now generate invoice taxes using the “added to the price” option under the Taxes & Charges feature.
Types of Charges
Some businesses may apply extra fees to customer bills, such as service charges in restaurants. SalesPlay can manage these additional fees in the Taxes/Charges section.
1. Included in the Price
The charge is already included in the product or service price. Customers do not see it as a separate item at checkout.
2. Added to the Price
The charge is added on top of the product or service price. Customers pay both the item cost and the additional charge.
3. Fixed Charge
A specific, set amount added to the bill, independent of order total. For example, restaurants may add a delivery fee for delivery services. This is not calculated as a percentage like the other types.
Special Notes
- Manage taxes and charges using the “Add Tax / Charge” option under the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the main billing interface.
- The “Invoice Tax” function will be removed and replaced with the “added to the price” option.
- Other Charges will now be merged into the Taxes/Charges section. Create required charges in the same way taxes are created.
