Add a Tax Plugin

Navigate to: System Settings > Plugins > Available Plugins

The first step to adding an external shipping provider is to install a shipping plugin.  Find the shipping provider plugin that represents the shipping option to be used in Znode and install the plugin. 

Browse to the “Available Plugins” and filter by “Plugin Type” to locate the available shipping module plugins.  All available plugins will be listed in the grid. To filter the list to Znode native shipping plugins, use the “Plugin Type” filter value of “Shipping”.

If the desired shipping plugin is already installed, continue on to adding a configuration for the installed plugin.

Add a Shipping Plugin Configuration

Navigate to:  System Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins

Once a shipping plugin has been installed to the Znode system, it needs to be configured to process transactions.  Select the shipping plugin to be configured by clicking the Plugin Name link or selecting the gear icon under Action.  

Each plugin has a “Plugin Information” tab that describes the plugin that is installed; a “Global Configuration” tab that captures shipping provider level configuration; and a “Configurations Sets” tab that captures shipping provider account configuration information.

Installed Plugin List Details

Global Configuration

The “Global Configuration” tab contains configurations that apply, at the plugin level, to all Configuration Sets. The Global Configuration data to be configured varies depending on the plugin.

Configuration Sets

Each plugin also has a “Configuration Sets” tab. A configuration set is a collection of settings that define how an application behaves and operates.  Essentially, each configuration is a variation of a plugin’s configurable settings.  Unless otherwise noted, a plugin can have multiple configuration sets that can be applied to different entities in Znode. 

For example, two configuration sets can be added for a Fedex plugin with each assigned to a different webstore for providing shipping services.

The data to be configured for each configuration set varies depending on the plugin. However, each of the tax plugins will have the below common configuration set fields.
