Avalara Tax calculation API call
This topic provides an overview of the Avalara API used to display a tax quote to the user before finalizing their checkout process.
Method: Real-time call Avalara API
Optimizely will make a real-time call to the Avalara API during the transition between the Addresses Page to the Review and Pay Page, but only if the Order Simulation call is bypassed or not made. This will allow Configured Commerce to display a tax quote to the user before finalizing their checkout process. The call to Avalara will only be a quote call; nothing will be written into the Avalara system.
