Summary
Fulfillment Based Pricing and Taxes are new features in Otter’s Direct to Consumer product that empower restaurant owners and operators to offer different pricing and tax rates for menu items based on their method of fulfillment (Ex. Delivery, Dine-in, Pick up). This feature will now allow restaurant owners and operators to use one menu with advanced pricing and tax configurations instead of having different menus per fulfillment mode. Improving their menu management experience.

Why are my tax rates not being acknowledged by the delivery partners?
