Checkout needs a valid automatic tax calculation before a payment can be taken.
Resolve a tax setup message
- Confirm your private business address under Settings → You.
- Review Settings → Sales tax.
- Complete the connected Stripe Tax settings and appropriate collection registrations in Stripe.
- For PayPal or Square checkout, keep the connected Stripe Tax service available as well.
- Correct any incomplete buyer delivery address and retry checkout.
You do not need to enter a manual state tax rate or wait for Farbase to build a rate table for your state.
A saved tax or VAT number in Regional settings does not activate tax calculation or create a registration with a tax authority.
See Set up automatic sales tax. If a complete setup still fails, report the exact checkout message and selected provider to Support without sending credentials.
