Dave,
I want to add tax and shipping amount to the prices and do a bottomline price comparison. Shipping is relatively easy but tax calculation for US stores are not that straightforward.
Each state has a different tax percentage and each store depending on whether or not that store operates in a given state may or may not collect sales tax from their customers in that state. How can I implement this? I am sure you had similar questions in the past from your US customers. Now that you are implementing a store profile section under the admin can't you also add this info for each store? That will make life much easier for me.
Thanks,
Matt
Dave,
This has to be real-time because the tax amount varies from state to stage. The page will ask the visitor to enter their state (Even better their zip code), the tax will be completed based on that information. You can see an example here:

Hi Matt,
Ah OK, so what's need is a state <> TAX table, and also a mapping of which merchants deliver to which states?
Is the second part needed, or do you just need a user to be able to select their state and the online sales tax for that state is added to the displayed prices?
Cheers,
David.

Hi Matt,
Would a simple text field that you could add for a given merchant be sufficient or do you need to combine tax with price fields in "real time" for a given customer? If you could give a few more details as to how you would like it to work I'll take a look at what could be done...
Thanks!
Cheers,
David.
