Integrate WebSphere Commerce with Taxware

To build and maintain a highly secure e-commerce site with a worldwide tax calculation process, you can integrate WebSphere Commerce with Taxware, a third-party tax calculation system. Taxware and its TaxWareLink package enable integration with WebSphere Commerce by implementing the tax integration API, a set of task commands called by the order component to communicate with the third-party tax calculation system when the tax integration feature is enabled.

  1. Install Taxware
    You must install Taxware before you can integrate it with WebSphere Commerce.

  2. Set up a customer profile with Taxware
    After you install Taxware, set up a customer profile.

  3. Deploy the TaxwareLink package to the WebSphere Commerce environment
    When integrating WebSphere Commerce with Taxware, extract the TaxwareLink package to the WebSphere Commerce environment.

  4. Add the Taxware data to the WebSphere Commerce database
    To integrate WebSphere Commerce with Taxware, add the Taxware data for the published store to the database.

  5. Enable promotions in Taxware
    To use promotions in WebSphere Commerce and have Taxware calculate tax based on the discounted prices instead of the original prices, enable promotions in Taxware.

  6. Debug Taxware-related problems
    You can debug Taxware-related issues to determine if they are WebSphere Commerce exceptions or Taxware problems.
