The Tax Service API integrates taxes, duties, and fees (TDF) processing. The API provides tax quote processing for the consumer-facing webstores and order management systems. The API also provides tax invoice and tax distribute processing for the order management system.

Two integration configurations are offered:

  • Tax quote, invoice, and distribute processing are supported for a customer-hosted webstore and order management system.
  • Tax quote processing is supported for a customer-hosted webstore. Subsequent tax quote, invoice, and distribute processing are supported for an order management system that is hosted by Radial.

Here's how it works.

Step 1: At time of checkout, send radial a Tax Quote request.

Step 2: Radial sends back a tax quote for every line item on the order.

Step 3: Ship the items and make the Tax Invoice Call with the fulfillment address.

Step 4: Radial sends back an acknowledgment on the order with accurate taxes.

See the Tax Setup Guide for details on this integration.
