As a valued member of Local Trade Partners, understanding key aspects of our network ensures smooth transactions and maximizes your partnership benefits. This guide outlines essential information regarding taxes, tipping, directory optimization, account access, transaction processing, and staying informed.
Understanding Sales Tax and Gratuities
When conducting transactions within the Local Trade Partners (LTP) network, it’s crucial to remember that sales tax and tips are handled separately from trade dollars. Following standard business etiquette, buyers are expected to pay applicable sales tax in cash directly at the point of purchase. Similarly, while tips are not automatically included in LTP transactions, showing appreciation through generous cash tips is highly encouraged for service-based businesses within our network.
Optimizing Your Directory Listing for Visibility
Your online directory listing is a vital tool for attracting new trade partners. Take a moment to review your listing in our online directory. Ensure all information is accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensively filled out to best represent your business to other members. For any corrections or to enhance your listing with additional details, please contact our support team via email at [email protected] or by phone at 479-443-1977.
