Sell Courses With Full Tax Transparency at Checkout

April 17, 20262 min read

When someone buys a course, the last thing you want is a surprise at the final step. A price that looks one way throughout the checkout process and then changes at the point of payment creates friction - and costs you sales.

Course Offer checkout in ESC Hub now includes full tax support. Taxes are automatically calculated and displayed during checkout, so buyers see exactly what they'll be charged before they complete their purchase.

What's New

Automatic Tax Calculation Taxes are calculated automatically during checkout based on the buyer's billing address, ensuring accurate pricing across regions without any manual input from you.

Clear Tax Breakdown Buyers can see a detailed tax breakdown before completing their purchase. No surprises at the final step - the total is clear from the moment they reach checkout.

Region-Based Tax Support Supports region-specific tax configurations, making it easier to comply with local tax requirements across different markets.

Coupon Compatibility Coupon codes continue to work as expected, with taxes applied correctly after discounts are calculated.

Flexible Pricing Models Supports both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive pricing, giving you flexibility in how you display prices to your buyers.

Getting Started

  • Add your nexus addresses in Payments settings

  • Configure your tax rules and categories

  • Verify your business address for accurate location mapping

  • Enable automatic tax in Payments settings to start applying taxes automatically

Why It Matters

Transparent pricing builds trust. When buyers can see the full cost - including tax - before they commit, there are no last-minute surprises that cause drop-off. And on your side, automatic tax calculation means accurate charging across regions without the manual work of figuring out what applies where.
