    What would be the shortcode syntax for adding tax so that the specified tax amount is applied PER NUMBER OF ITEMS?

    I know the shortcode syntax for adding tax to a product is . . .
    [wp_paypal button=”buynow” name=”My product” amount=”4.99″ tax=”2.15″]

    However, if someone orders 2 or more of a product, can the specified tax amount be applied (multiplied) PER NUMBER OF ITEMS ordered?

    @tacraw88, Have you tried the tax_rate parameter?

    Are you referring to this . . .
    [wp_paypal button=”buynow” name=”My product” amount=”4.99″ tax=”2.15″]

    If so, this adds a tax amount for ONE product.

    If the parameter is set to where a customer can select multiple numbers of the product (i.e. “undefined quantity”), then HOW can the tax rate be set so that it applies to the entire purchase price at a set percentage of the total purchase price?

    In other words, if the tax rate needs to be 8%, then how can the parameter be set so that the 8% applies to the total final purchase price after the number of product is selected?

    This seems like it should be a basic option.

    @tacraw88, Try this and see if it works:

    
    [wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" tax_rate="8.00"]

    But won’t that set a FIXED additional applied amount at $8.00 – no matter how many number of product items the customer selects? What if a customer selects “5” or “10” of the product?

    Is there not a way to set a certain PERCENTAGE amount that is applied to the final purchase TOTAL – like all other retail?

    @tacraw88, tax_rate=”8.00″ means 8%.
