TaxCloud AddOn

Hi, I am writing a TaxCloud AddOn to make taxes easier for states like CA and NY. What do I need to call in the code to get the customer billing and shipping addresses?

Thank You,

Devon Quick

IWorkContext.CurrentCustomer.BillingAddress
IWorkContext.CurrentCustomer.ShippingAddress

You'll just want to have a reference to workContext in a constructor visible to Autofac, and it will hand you the current implementation.

Thank You!

Actually, I was digging in a little, wouldn't it be better to get address from CalculateTaxRequest class since I implement ITaxProvider?

public CalculateTaxResult GetTaxRate(CalculateTaxRequest calculateTaxRequest)

Check out Nop.Plugin.Tax.CountryStateZip.CountryStateZipTaxProvider for an example of this in action below. You asked originally for both the shipping & billing address, but if you only need the address in CalculateTaxRequest, then yes, you can expect that information to be supplied by the calling service (checkout or order, not sure which)

 public CalculateTaxResult GetTaxRate(CalculateTaxRequest calculateTaxRequest)
        {
            var result = new CalculateTaxResult();

            if (calculateTaxRequest.Address == null)
            {
                result.Errors.Add("Address is not set");
                return result;
            }

            var taxRates = _taxRateService.GetAllTaxRates(calculateTaxRequest.TaxCategoryId,
                calculateTaxRequest.Address.Country != null ? calculateTaxRequest.Address.Country.Id: 0,
                calculateTaxRequest.Address.StateProvince != null ? calculateTaxRequest.Address.StateProvince.Id : 0, 
                calculateTaxRequest.Address.ZipPostalCode);
            if (taxRates.Count > 0)
                result.TaxRate = taxRates[0].Percentage;

            return result;
        }

I was able to make my own TaxCloud Plugin for 3.10 (am sure works on 3.2 with some slight changes).

I did it mainly to deal with WA state.  I was using the WA State plugin which worked ok, but many times would give an error to where I couldn't log into the store because it couldn't load the tax tables.

I was surprised how may times the call to calculate tax was made when logging in.  I didn't have anything in the cart and after running the project, I put a breakpoint in the call and it was called about 5-6 times.  There was only 1 address for my user account.

Any ideas how to reduce the calls?

We're looking to do something similar with TaxCloud.  Any chance you'd be willing to share your code?

If anyone has some working code for this they would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated.
