Online Stores

The shopping cart script provided in your samples ZIP file is awesome. I was almost ready to go live on my website, until my accountant reminded me of calculating & collecting sales tax.

I'm based in the US, and my state has multiple rules for calculating tax (state sales tax, county surcharges, city surcharges, etc...). After reading up, I see no way to handle this easily (also good reading: http://discuss.fogcreek.com/askjoel/default.asp?cmd=show&ixPost=3259&ixReplies=17)

Does anyone have recommendations for 3rd party stores such as Kagi, RegNow, or CleverBridge? They seem better equipped to handle this. Also, has anyone integrated LimeLM into these stores?

Any tips/recommendations you could offer would be appreciated!

FastSpring handles these taxes for you. We also show how to integrate with them.
