Tax Management

Automate tax calculations at checkout by connecting a supported tax integration.

Overview

Tax management integrations handle sales tax, VAT, and other tax calculations automatically during checkout.

How It Works

When a customer reaches checkout, the tax integration determines the correct tax amount using several factors:

Factor	Description
Product type	Different product categories have different tax rules (e.g., digital goods vs. physical goods)
Customer location	Tax rates vary by country, state, and municipality
Current regulations	Tax laws change frequently — the integration stays up to date automatically

Cloud-based sales tax automation that calculates accurate taxes at checkout. AvaTax factors in product taxability, customer location, and current tax regulations — eliminating manual calculations and reducing compliance risk.

Troubleshooting

Tax amounts are incorrect at checkout

Verify that your product tax codes are configured correctly in your tax provider's dashboard. Incorrect or missing tax codes are the most common cause of inaccurate calculations.

Tax integration is not responding

Check your API credentials and confirm the integration is active. Review your tax provider's status page for any ongoing service disruptions.
