Configure advanced settings for Avalara

The Advanced Settings section for the Direct Avalara Integration provides enhanced configurability, allowing you to tailor tax calculation behavior to your specific business requirements. This includes defining custom request templates, mapping tax response fields, and configuring network settings for secure and efficient communication with Avalara’s tax engine.

With Advanced Settings, you can:

• Request Template: Customize the structure and content of the request payload sent to Avalara using Liquid templating. You can include standard and custom fields, override default formatting, and dynamically control values based on your billing data. Mock data can be configured for preview and testing purposes. See Context object for rendering tax app templates for all available objects and fields.
• Response Field Mapping: Capture specific values from Avalara’s tax engine response and map them to fields on the Taxation Item object in Zuora. This allows seamless storage and access of vendor-calculated tax details. See Flexible Tax Mapping for more information.
• Network: Set a network timeout for tax requests and optionally define custom request headers. These headers are useful when integrating with firewalls or when additional authentication tokens need to be passed.
