TaxCloud Addon

There's a bug in Taxcloud's authorizenet_aim integration. Replace lines 391-398 in includes/modules/payment/authorizenet_aim.php with

    //TaxCloud fix for Authorize plugin
    $taxCloudTax = $_SESSION['taxcloudTaxTotal'];
    if ( isset($taxCloudTax)) {
        $old_tax = $submit_data['x_tax'];
        $submit_data['x_tax'] = round($taxCloudTax,2);
        //Update total
        $submit_data['x_amount'] = $submit_data['x_amount'] - $old_tax + $submit_data['x_tax'];
    }
    //End TaxCloud fix

My update was accepted by Taxcloud in their Github Repo.

I have updated the copy in the Plugins with this and all their other latest fixes.

Any chance there's an updated version of this that supports 1.5.5a? After copying the files over my installation I just get a blank page when a browse to the admin portal :(

Automated Compliance - I just spoke to TaxCloud. They are pushing turning on Automated Compliance. If you turn on automated compliance, they will calculate and add to your invoices sales tax from 24 states, even if you only have a nexus in 1 state! The alternative is to turn off Automated compliance. With AC off, they will only calculate sales tax from states where you have a nexus, but then they will charge you $10/mo. Personally, I am a small enough business that neither option can work for me. If I cannot find an practical way to collect sales tax, I may go out of business.

I use Taxcloud with the automated compliance, and I am like you very small. It allows me to forego the $10 charge and keeps me compliant with the other states only as needed. So far I haven't had to pay any fees for other states as most of my customers seem to be here in my own state. So this will not put you out of business but it can actually help you stay on top of tax filings in your primary state. I for one forget to file on time so I find it more of a help than a hinderance.

I recently used the updated file a few days ago, and although the cart works fine, my admin area became inaccessible. I tried using win merge myself but that did not work or I did not merge properly. Need help, using zc1.5.5

I was having the same problem with this so I tried a suggestion from an earlier post:

I have noticed with some playing around that when I get rid of the file
/public_html/store/ADMINFLODER/includes/functions/general.php
And put the original general.php file back in my admin area works again.
Hope this points someone in the right direction to figuring this out.

After I installed this add-on, my admin area would not work so I uploaded a back up copy of the original: admin/includes/functions/general.php
You can try this, just be sure to download a copy of your current working file to your computer before updating.

I am having the same issue as Pete_srcs, only I am using USA ePay payment module. I am using ZenCart 1.5.4 and TaxCloud - updated 01/10/16 from Github.
Would you possibly be able to help me?

Using 1.5.4 zen cart and the latest taxcloud edition - I'm getting the error message at checkout:

A matching lookup could not be found for this authorization

I saw that sammirah had that problem in another thread before he upgraded taxcloud. This is a cart that was using taxcloud before but the files are all new - no leftovers from the old version.

I saw in a really old post that the message used to mean that COWOA wasn't playing nicely with taxcould and I do have that installed but not turned on and I uploaded the class/order.php from TaxCloud for the front end of the site which was the only file the two had in common.

Zen Cart 1.5.5 TaxCloud breaks the admin pages. The <SITE>/admin<xxx>/includes/functions/general.php file is using an OLD VERSION which doesn't include the is__writeable function and BREAKS the admin pages completely.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is__writeable() in /<SITE>/admin<xxx>/includes/init_includes/init_errors.php on line 84

what version of zen cart are you using?

I sure wish tax cloud would respond to something. I called them earlier today about the error I'm getting. No one answered but said the mailbox was full. Cart owner was able to leave a message later but no one has called back. Got to fix the error:
A matching lookup could not be found for this authorization

Any help would be appreciated.

No matter what I've tried, I cannot get this to work on a 1.5.4 installation. I get an error message and have not been able to get either a response here or from taxcloud. If there is anyone who might have an idea what this is about, I would be grateful for an answer.
Array ( [0] => A matching lookup could not be found for this authorization (CartID : 16491) )

I am using ZenCart 1.5.4 and TaxCloud 1.6.2 with update 01/10/16. I have spoken with Dave @TaxCloud and he suggests I post here.
I have add-ons Order_total module: Priority Handling v.1.2.1 & Numinix Optional/Required Shipping Insurance. I need to charge taxes on these amounts.
TaxCloud says to send the amounts and the tax class (set up in the mod).
Question is: How do I get the Handling fee and the Shipping Insurance amounts passed to TaxCloud?
I don’t do PHP very well (hardly at all) so I don’t know where the amounts are stored. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm installing this on a clean install of 1.5.5e. It's returning a 500 error with this showing in the error log:
[28-Aug-2017 23:18:36 EST5EDT] [client 64.7.70.206 ] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is__writeable() in /big/dom/.../includes/init_includes/init_errors.php on line 84

Any ideas?

Bumping

is__writeable should be where drByte says its is. sounds like you have a compromised install....

DrByte:

Your /admin/includes/functions/general.php is missing or damaged. That's the file where your Admin finds that function declaration. But your error is indicating your site doesn't have it.
Ref: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/blob/v155/admin/includes/functions/general.php#L3807

I recommend that the order.php file be removed from this package and instead have the file modifications mentioned in the installation instructions.

Please also add FILENAME_CHECKOUT and FILENAME_FEC_CONFIRMATION to the list of checkout pages the TaxCloud module loads on in order to reduce frustration for users of Fast and Easy Checkout.

OK guys, I have an issue with my installation. 1.5.5f (upgraded from 1.5.5e original install) on an Apache server. I am using the taxcloud plugin as I'm participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax Initiative. When using the TaxCloud plugin, when someone checks out, they are presented with the order total, which shows product price, shipping, and tax properly. However, when their card gets charged, the tax amount isn't being collected. I've tried this with several payment processors so I'm certain it doesn't have to do with them. I think it's the way TaxCloud is passing the correct amount to the payment gateway but that's just a guess on my part.

I am running two different stores, both of which are on 1.5.5f and both are experiencing this issue. One of the stores was formerly on an older version, 1.3.somethingorother, and the taxcloud plugin for that version worked properly.

One current site is running PHP 7.1, and the other is running 5.6.3. Both are using MySQL 5.5.5-10.1.31-MariaDB.

Any thoughts on getting this to work right would be appreciated. If I had a clue about PHP I'd probably have this fixed but I'm no programmer and code mystifies me.

Any ideas on what the fix would be?

Thanks

I've installed this into ZC 1.5.5f with the ZCA Bootstrap template. The catalog page taxcloud_exemptions does not load properly. It looks like a jquery conflict - something I'm not good at troubleshooting. Switching the template to Responsive Classic does not solve the issue.

taxcloud is referencing jquery 1.4.4, Responsive Classic template is referencing 1.12.4 and ZCA Bootstrap template is referencing 2.1.1.

Any help/hints is very much appreciated.
