Getting started with TaxJar Sales Tax Automation

To enable TaxJar Sales Tax Automation at your X-Cart store, follow the steps below:

1. Get an account with TaxJar to get an API token. You will need to enter it on the ”TaxJar Sales Tax Automation” module settings page in your X-Cart store.

2. Configure your company settings and tax profile in TaxJar.

   You can get started by clicking ‘Account’ on the navigation bar:

   • Specify your company details in the Business Profile section. Keeping business profile up to date is important as TaxJar will use your address to determine tax rules in some cases.
   • Add states with nexus in the State Settings section (where your company needs to calculate sales and use tax due to “substantial physical presence” in a taxing jurisdiction)

3. Enable TaxJar Sales Tax Automation in your X-Cart store:

   • Make sure the TaxJar Sales Tax Automation module is installed and enabled.
   • Configure the module (See Configuring the TaxJar Sales Tax Automation Module).
