Design the transaction workflow

View as Markdown

This section describes some best practices when designing your document workflow. Before beginning, consider the following questions:

  • What kind of ecommerce system are you designing (for example, order management, storefront, fulfillment, and so on)

  • When is it appropriate to call AvaTax for tax calculation?

  • When will you record (commit) a transaction?

  • How will you validate addresses? Will you be using Avalara’s service? If so, review the Address Validation requirements. If not, we still require that your environment includes an address validation service (for example, Google Maps™).
