AmeriCommerce online stores integrate with the following third party services to provide calculated accurate tax rates.

These settings can be changed under Tools > Apps & Add-Ons.

Standard Tax:

This is a basic rate table manually configured in the Settings > Payments & Tax > Tax Rates : section of the admin console and uses the Tax Regions option just below it to typically define different States and tax rates for that state.

Avalara:

Avalara is a 3rd party tax provider that offers many additional benefits above our other tax methods.  Avalara will provide real-time tax calculations for the shopping cart and order entry and using the Tax Code field on the product, Avalara can provide accurate tax rates for specific product types for regions that have very complex rules.

Avalara provides many advanced tax reporting features and will also handle paying your company's sales and use taxes to the appropriate agencies automatically, drastically reducing tax payment overhead.  Contact your AmeriCommerce online store account manager or Avalara for more information.

Upon closing an order (via setting an order to an order status that is flagged as "closed" in the Order Statuses editor), AmeriCommerce online stores will notify Avalara to commit the tax amount for the order to their database, and this can be disabled on the setup under Tools > Apps & Add-Ons > Avalara
