Overview of the Change
Merchants using Avalara Tax Compliance will no longer see test orders, which are created using a test payment gateway, synced to their Avalara AvaTax dashboard or reports. This update ensures that only production order data is included in Avalara's tax calculation and reporting processes.
Why This Change Was Made
This change helps maintain the accuracy and reliability of tax data within Avalara AvaTax. By excluding test orders, businesses can avoid any confusion or discrepancies caused by non-transactional data appearing in tax reports.
Benefits of This Update
- Improves the accuracy of tax compliance data by excluding non-production orders.
- Streamlines reporting processes by ensuring only real transactions are included.
- Reduces the risk of mistakenly submitting test data for tax compliance purposes.
