Note: This step only
needs to run for
versions lower than
VPCart 6.50 (e.g. 6.00, 5.50 and
other
lower
versions). If you are using
Version
6.50, please skip this
step.
The way state and country tax rates are defined have been changed for VPCart 6.50 and the new VPCart 9.00. Rather than having them stored in shop configuration, they are now stored in the shopstates and shopcountries tables.
1. Open your browser.
2. Enter the URL of your new VPCart 9.00 folder followed by “converttaxes.asp.” For example, http://www.vpasp.com/vpasp/admin/converttaxes.asp, where www.vpasp.com is your website address and vpasp is the folder where you installed your new copy of VPCart. Admin is the folder where the converttaxes.asp file is located.
Any state or country tax rates you have set up will automatically be converted.
