Merchants on every ThriveCart plan can now calculate and collect sales tax at checkout, with no third-party tools required.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2026 / ThriveCart, a leading all-in-one creator commerce, course, and community membership platform used by more than 75,000 businesses worldwide, today announced that it is expanding its built-in sales tax calculation and collection features to merchants on all plans, including ThriveCart Standard.

The expansion of ThriveCart's long-standing tax tools removes a friction point for creators as they scale: the need for separate, subscription-based tax compliance software. ThriveCart's tax engine automatically calculates the correct rate for each customer's jurisdiction at checkout, verifies VAT IDs for EU buyers, and applies the reverse charge mechanism where applicable - across the USA, Canada, the EU, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and other additional territories.

"Tax compliance shouldn't be a barrier to growth for online sellers. By extending our built-in tax tools to every ThriveCart plan, we're giving all of our merchants - from those just starting to established businesses - a straightforward, reliable way to collect relevant taxes and stay compliant without needing additional software. This is part of our ongoing commitment to keeping everything creators need in one place, for the lowest cost possible," said Ismael Wrixen, CEO of ThriveCart.

The feature is entirely opt-in. Merchants who choose to enable it can calculate and collect sales tax directly within ThriveCart. Two new in-platform tools further support compliance awareness: a dashboard banner that surfaces products without tax enabled, and a prompt that appears each time a product is taken live without tax configured.

Tax remittance features are on ThriveCart's roadmap and planned for late Q3 2026.
