Configure Tax Providers

Virto Commerce allows you to configure tax providers based on your business needs. By default, the Tax module includes the Fixed rate tax provider. If you require automated tax calculations, you can install the Avalara tax module to use the Avalara tax provider.

Use the configuration file to configure tax providers:

Node Default value Description
FixedRateTaxProvider true
false		 Determines whether the FixedRateTaxProvider is enabled or disabled. When set to false, the FixedRateTaxProvider is not active, and tax calculations will not be performed using this provider. When set to true, the FixedRateTaxProvider will be enabled, allowing the platform to use fixed-rate tax calculations.
Avalara.AccountNumber required The account number provided by Avalara during registration. This is required for authentication.
Avalara.LicenseKey required The license key provided by Avalara. This key is used for secure communication with Avalara’s tax calculation service.

Example

appsettings.json
"Tax": {
    "FixedRateTaxProvider": {"Enabled": false}
}
appsettings.json
"Tax": {
    "Avalara": {
        "AccountNumber": "********",
        "LicenseKey": "**************"
    }
}
