Ok so I do online sales from home in Louisiana, I understand that customers outside of the state of LA, I don't charge tax. However customers within the state I need to charge their local parishes (county) tax rate. How am I able to determine their tax rate before an invoice is sent? Im not sure where to find the local taxes for each one and apply it to the invoice before hand. What if I dont know where the customer is coming to determine their local tax rate? im going cross eyed tryna to wrap my head around it! HALLLP!

But how do you obtain the shipping address/zip beforehand. I dont get that information until after the invoice is paid.

That's where you'll need to set up your website to have the customer enter their billing and shipping address on your site and then process the cart contents and pass the info to PayPal and your sales tax calculator. Its all complicated coding to automate everything. I'm no expert. So you'll need someone to web develop for you.
And there are web shopping carts providers that are pre-developed to have such capabilities:

I see. Hmmm. Facebook has their own online shop set up too. Look do you even meet the thresholds to be charging sales tax? this is something the law is trying to avoid. There's too many variables for one individual seller to handle.
I suggest you read up on this site about whether you even need to be charging sales tax:

I see. I still say you should do some research and consult a tax consultant. You have a business license but In order to legally collect sales taxes, you must get a seller’s permit or license from your state.
I really recommend you do some research of you'll do yourself a mischief.

I will definitely read up on that. I have a sole proprietorship.. I buy wholesale and sell through facebook by receiving their emails to send them invoices of the items.. I went through the process with being registered to sell through the state and the city. Ive gotten my license. So as far as the city and the state of Louisiana they want their money Haha!
