The AvaTax integration calculates sales tax as part of the pricing operation. When the shopping cart is priced with a request to include tax pricing, Oracle Commerce Cloud Service sends the information to Avalara, which calculates the total tax amount and sends it in a response. The response breaks down the tax into individual components, for example, the total tax amount might include sales tax assessed by both the state and county.
You can assign a tax code to each product in your catalog, as well as to each shipping method you create. For more information about tax codes in AvaTax, go to the Avalara Help Center at https://help.avalara.com/ and search for tax codes.
Note: You must have an active AvaTax account to use this integration. To learn how to sign up for an account and configure it, go to http://www.avalara.com.
