AvaTax Plugin Activation
Navigate to: System Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins > AvaTax > Plugin Information
The plugin must be activated from the Plugin Information screen for it to be available for processing in Znode.
Additional Information:
- The Avalara Plugin now supports automatic calculation of import duties for international orders. This feature ensures accurate duty charges are applied at checkout, based on the product's classification (HS Code) and the destination country.
- Import Duty Calculation: Import duties are calculated automatically for international shipments using real-time rates based on the destination and product classification. (The supported country for now is Canada.) (Only if the settings are made in Avalara, Znode checks this setting, and the rest of the calculations are made through Avalara.)
- Real-Time Tax Breakdown: Import duties will appear alongside taxes and shipping costs during checkout.
- Customizable Settings: Import duties can be managed, and default rates for countries or regions can only be set through the Avalara account, with no control at the Znode end.
