| multi |
This mode enables table-based lookup of taxing rates,
based upon user-submitted form input values.
See the Multi (VAT)
page for more information. |
| [Interchange tags] |
If the value contains a left square bracket,
it is interpolated for Interchange tags, and the result used as the
amount of the sale stax.
This could be useful if you want to use a custom
UserTag for sales tax calculations. |
| name1, name2 |
A comma-separated list of the field names
(as placed in the checkout page - "ord/checkout.html", for example)

Two names are shown here,
but you can have as many as you need.
These are be used to look up a sales tax percentage in the
"salestax.asc "ASCII file.
The "salestax.asc" table is not supplied with Interchange.
See the Simple "salestax.asc" method
for more information. |
