The Avalara AvaTax extension integrates Avalara’s tax automation system with OroCommerce, delivering accurate sales tax calculation across multiple jurisdictions. AvaTax removes the complexity of manual tax handling by fetching current rates and applying rules dynamically during both storefront and back-office operations.
With real-time tax calculation based on shipping address and support for both storefront and back-office order processing, AvaTax extension helps ensure accurate, up-to-date taxation at every step of the order lifecycle. Whether you’re dealing with multiple tax jurisdictions, exemptions, or product-specific rates, this extension simplifies compliance and improves transparency for customers and sales reps alike.
