Sales Tax Calculation Update

In January 2018, we are going to be making some changes to the sales tax calculation code for online sales with in-store pickup. To keep these sales tax calculations accurate, we need you to enter the expanded nine-digit ZIP Code for your store(s). If you don’t know your nine-digit ZIP Code, visit the USPS website.


Once you have the number, go to:
Store > Configuration > Store, then select the “Store address” tab. Change the ZIP Code and save. If you have questions about this change, please contact [email protected].

New Constant Contact Form for Newsletter Signups
Constant Contact has released a new embed form option for adding a newsletter sign-up form to your website. If you currently have their old form embedded into your site, it will continue to work; however, if you attempt to edit it through Constant Contact or edit the blocks containing the code on your website, the old form will stop working. Instructions for adding the new form can be found in the IndieCommerce Help Center.

Take advantage of the default content ABA provides for the Indie Next List, Kids’ Indie Next List, Reading Group Indie Next List, and Indie Bestsellers by enabling the corresponding blocks (Structure > Blocks) or linking to their pages on your site (replace the highlighted portion with your store URL).
