Learn how to add and delete tax identifiers.

Use the Salesforce Lightning app to add or delete tax identifiers. Tax identifiers can be added from the My Account page or during checkout on the Order Review screen.

To use tax identifiers during checkout:

   • Mixed products (physical and digital) and the shipping address is a non-US address

3. On the Order Review page, the shopper can select the existing tax identifier from the Saved Tax Identifiers section or can apply the tax identifier from the Other tax identifiers section. Note: Steps for adding or deleting existing tax identifiers are the same as those on the My Account page.
