Washington State Destination Sales Tax API

.. Or we can follow these directions and port the osCommerce one to Zen-Cart's: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...dules_from_osC

"Many contributions for osCommerce have been ported to Zen Cart™. There are a few general rules for converting osCommerce code to Zen Cart™ v1.2.x or v1.3.x code. "

OK I too live in Washington State and am interested in getting this set up. Am looking for a definite fix or mod to do this. I do not want to modify my carts until specific instructions or a definite mod is available to do this. Thank you all for working on it. Keep us Washington residents informed please. This type of tax system will probably be coming to YOUR hometown soon!

We're working on this for a number of Zen Cart builds right now. We've done 2 Virtuemart & a CREloaded versions so far and have some Zen versions completed that are just not public yet.

You can see our methodology we're following for Washington State Destination Sales Tax here. If you can think of an easier way to get the zip + 4 from a user who doesn't know it ahead of time (like every customer in existence) we're all ears.

USPS wanted $3,000 for access to their real time API when we called ... so we went with Yahoo Maps to look-up the +4.

I guess merchants who got on a pilot program got a B & O tax credit towards their implementation of this if they were done prior to June 30th or so.

We'll post the Zen Examples as soon as they are up. The two we just completed have not launched their sites yet.. otherwise I'd show you how it looks.

We'll also try to get a more plug and play version up as a contribution if possible and as time permits. Dept. of Revenue sent out a letter last week that scared some people .. so we're getting a lot of calls on this.

Is this mod still under development? Any work being done on this?

TOM.. THANK YOU!

I have been going out of my mind with this.

What I can tell you is that I am forcing everyone to enter the zip + 4 in the cart. I have it set up that it needs to be there (By forcing the minimum digits to be 7) and So far.. it is working... at least for me.

[litepockets]

Did anybody find a mod to use this in ZC yet?

Um ... just a tiny clarification ... this site is about support for Zen Cart, not other shopping carts.
