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 marketplace are you designing? Will you collect and pay tax everywhere or only in selective jurisdictions?

  • 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™).
