• Shopify checkout requests real-time tax calculation from Avalara based on ship-to address, nexus settings, and item tax codes.
• Line items are mapped to Avalara taxability using SKU, product category, or explicit tax code mappings maintained per catalog rules.
• Orders and refunds are transmitted to Avalara as committed transactions with jurisdiction, rates, exemptions, and calculated tax amounts captured per line.
• Address validation and jurisdiction assignment are handled in Avalara’s service, with response data stored against the Shopify order for traceability.
• Sync logic can use event-driven pushes (order paid, refunded, canceled) and periodic reconciliation to re-send failed or changed transactions.
• Customer exemption status and certificate references, when used, are passed with the transaction and applied during calculation and reporting.
• Errors, retries, and mismatched totals are logged with correlation IDs so discrepancies can be traced between Shopify order IDs and Avalara document IDs.
