Do you charge sales tax on custom trading cards?

Quick answer

Where it applies, sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout from your shipping address and shown as its own line in the order summary before you pay. The prices on the site are pre-tax: $17.99 for a one-card Rookie Box, $49.99 for a MEGA Card, $37.99 for a 25-card Bulk Box. Nothing is added after payment.

Key takeaways

  • ✓Tax is worked out at checkout from the shipping address.
  • ✓It appears as a separate line before you confirm payment.
  • ✓Site prices are pre-tax; the checkout total is what you pay.
  • ✓No tax is estimated while you design, because no address exists yet.

How tax is calculated

Checkout uses automatic tax calculation on the payment session, so the tax amount is determined by the shipping address you enter and the rules that apply there. It appears as its own line once the address is in, and the total updates before you pay.

Because the calculation needs an address, you will not see a tax figure in the builder or the cart. The cart shows the merchandise subtotal and the shipping rule; checkout shows the complete total.

What the listed prices are

Every price on the site is pre-tax and pre-shipping: the Rookie Box ladder from $17.99 to $49.99, the MEGA Card at $49.99, the Bulk Box at $37.99, $64.99, and $89.99, and the holographic upgrades. US standard shipping is free on orders $30+ and $5.00 flat below that; tax is calculated on top where it applies.

Teams and organizations

Team packs are ordered and paid for by each family through the team link, so any tax that applies is calculated on each family's own checkout, not on the coach.

More questions

Are the prices on the site including tax?

No. Listed prices are pre-tax. Tax, where it applies, is calculated at checkout from your shipping address and shown before you pay.

Why can I not see tax in my cart?

Tax depends on the shipping address, which is entered at checkout. Once the address is in, the tax line and final total appear before payment.

Is shipping taxed?

That depends on the rules for your shipping address. Whatever applies is calculated automatically and included in the checkout total.

Will I be charged anything after checkout?

No. The checkout total, including any tax and shipping, is the full amount charged to your card.
