Managing Taxations in Venddor IO

Introduction

In the world of e-commerce, efficient tax management is crucial. Venddor IO facilitates this process, enabling users to seamlessly handle multiple tax configurations through a single platform.

Accessing Tax Information

To view all tax configurations, use the following endpoints:

Complete Tax List

GET /api/taxes/

This fetches all tax objects within the system.

Specific Tax Information

GET /api/taxes/:id

Replace :id with the desired tax ID to retrieve specific tax details.

Pagination Controls

Customize the data retrieved by incorporating pagination parameters:

• page: Dictates the page number of results
• items_per_page: Specifies the number of tax entries displayed per page

GET /api/taxes?page=5&items_per_page=20

Diving Deep into Tax Attributes

Each tax object in Venddor IO has distinct attributes that determine its functionality:

• tax: The name of the tax
• tax_id: A unique identifier for each tax
• regnumber: Registration number associated with the tax
• priority: Helps determine the hierarchy if multiple taxes apply. Higher values indicate greater priority
• price_includes_tax: If set to 'Y', the tax value is embedded in the product price. If 'N', it's appended separately
• display_including_tax: Decides if the tax amount should be transparently included in the product's displayed price
• address_type: Determines whether tax rates should be aligned with shipping ('S') or billing ('B') addresses
• status: Dictates if the tax is 'Active' (A), 'Disabled' (D), or 'Hidden' (H)
• lang_code: Denotes the language for the tax name, typically matching the default store language (e.g., 'EN', 'RU')
