xearoth Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hello, Our company has decided that we are going to link up to a company called CCH who we can provide them with the customers shipping zip code and city via xml and receive back a flat % I need to charge them in tax. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can incorporate this into my checkout process and send all of this informatoin and get it back, add it to there total and also record this into the regular tax table in the database. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated alot! If you are wondering why we are doing this, is because we have a presence in 23 different states so therefore it would bea nightmare to keep them up to date ourselves and they didnt want to download a .txt file once a week so we decided to link up with there system.

ozEworks Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Even if you do have a presence in 23 different states, unless you are actually selling from 23 different states and shipping from those states then I don't think you should be charging tax in that manner. Most online stores have a presence in one state and apply taxes based on that state only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xearoth Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Thats what I thought to. But I am doing just what I have been told to do. I already have a testsoap.php file that was provided to me so I am already linking up to there system and getting back the tax rate. I just need to figure out how to include this in my checkout_confirmation.php i guess and also to be able to get the variable for the dest_zipcode so i can send them and then to include it back into my tax % and calculate everything correctly. Anybody else have any experience in doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
