Connect Salesforce to Vertex to calculate and apply the right sales tax in real time across carts, checkout, invoices, and refunds, with clean reporting and audit-ready logic.
• Salesforce transactions (quotes, orders, invoices, and credit notes) trigger Vertex tax calculations via API using ship-to, ship-from, and line-level amounts as inputs.
• Address data is validated and normalized before calculation, with jurisdiction identifiers returned and stored alongside the Salesforce transaction record.
• Product and charge codes from Salesforce are mapped to Vertex tax categories, with support for line overrides when a transaction requires a specific treatment.
• Exemption and customer tax status data is referenced during calculation, and Vertex response details are persisted for audit and reporting traceability.
• Delta-style recalculations run when taxable fields change (address, quantity, price, discount, or ship method), updating tax lines while preserving prior decision history.
• Errors and timeouts are logged with request/response metadata, and failed tax decisions are routed back to Salesforce for controlled retry or exception handling.

We connect Salesforce transactions to Vertex via API calls that send address, product, and customer context, then write the returned tax back to the order, invoice, or credit memo.
Typical triggers include quote pricing, order creation, invoice posting, returns, and credit notes, so the same Vertex decision follows the full transaction lifecycle in Salesforce.
Yes – we can pass exemption and customer taxability signals to Vertex and store the decision in Salesforce for consistent billing, reporting, and audits.
Vertex can evaluate jurisdiction-specific rules per transaction, and we map it to your Salesforce org, site, or channel setup to keep tax logic consistent at scale.
We validate address normalization, product tax codes, rounding, and timing of recalculation, then add logging so you can trace each Salesforce transaction to a Vertex response.
