Tax Provider

The Tax Provider is used to configure the charging of sales tax on Orders. You can set a fixed rate or use a third-party tax rate table, and can configure a different tax rate for different regions. To use third-party tax rate tables, you must subscribe to the appropriate service. If you are using a third-party tax service directly, you configure a dedicated Provider that is specific to that service. For information on these, contact the Salesforce Order Management Support team. Order Management is integrated with Avalera, Vertex, and CyberSource tax providers.

Shipping is direct to the purchaser by common carrier, contract carrier, or US mail and the charge doesn't exceed the actual cost for delivery to the customer.
