Q.  Is utilizing an IP address to verify my customer’s location reliable and accurate?
In virtually all circumstances, we can geolocate an IP address to a specific place. This does not imply that it accurately reflects your customer’s current location. In places where local taxes are levied (such as the United States), we don’t recommend depending on your customer’s IP address because the IP address location could represent your customer’s ISP (Internet Service Provider), which could be a long way away. The IP address is more likely to accurately reflect your customer’s location in Europe and other regions where countries have a common tax authority.

A. The discount rate is the percentage of each sale that is collected by the bank. This is how the credit card processing industry makes its money.

Q. What are chargebacks and how do they work?
A chargeback has no effect on the total amount of tax collected.

eDataPay.com Tax calculates taxes and keeps track of the total amount collected. When reporting and remitting taxes to tax authorities, we use this record of total tax collected.

For instance, if a transaction costs $100 and the exclusive tax is $10, the total tax collected is $10. We will not lower eDataPay.com Tax reporting total tax collected from 10 USD to 0 USD if a chargeback happens.
