I just started a new store (see my signature for link). It was set up on IPage with a few simple steps. The problem is that I don't know how to calculate shipping costs. How is that done for UPS? Also how about sales taxes? AFAIK USA does not have sales taxes on web products, but I could easily be wrong about that. Am I supposed to collect sales taxes?

Jump to PostYou will need to collect and remit sales tax on sales made in your own state.
Jump to PostI use OSCommerce for my sites and have FedEx shipping available. FedEx has an API that gets installed into oscommerce and gives me shipping charges based on the weight (in pounds) of what I sell.
Tax calcs are also built in. I charge tax in my home state only.
