Install the tax module

To begin using the checkout starter kit, ensure that you have completed the getting started and configuration steps.

For more ideas on how you can use the tax module, refer to tax use cases.

Prerequisites

• Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure or on-premises: 2.4.5+
• PHP 8.1+
• Magento Open Source is not supported.

Installation

data-src=/_includes/checkout-version.md

To enable out-of-process tax management in Adobe Commerce, install the magento/module-out-of-process-tax-management module using the following command:

composer require magento/module-out-of-process-tax-management --with-dependencies

For Adobe Commerce version 2.4.5, run the following command if you encounter any issues during magento setup:install process:

magento setup:di:compile

Configuration

data-src=/_includes/checkout-configuration.md

The checkout starter kit provides the create-tax-integrations script to help configure Adobe Commerce. It reads the tax integrations configuration from the tax-integrations.yaml file and creates tax integrations in Adobe Commerce.

To run this script, use the following command:

npm run create-tax-integrations

Limitations

This extension overrides the class Magento\Tax\Model\Sales\Total\Quote\Tax in the di.xml file

<preference for="Magento\Tax\Model\Sales\Total\Quote\Tax"
                type="Magento\OutOfProcessTaxManagement\Model\Tax\Sales\Total\Quote\Tax"/>

As a result, this extension is not compatible with other tax extensions that also override this class, such as TaxJar or Avalara.

If you need to use another tax extension, Adobe recommends disabling this extension to prevent conflicts.
