Q: Do I need to add tax codes to all of my merchandise categories?
It is highly recommended, even if you think that the AvaTax default tax covers all your products. Tax jurisdictions will sometimes have tax free days on specific categories of merchandise.
Q: What happens when the AvaTax service is not available?
Runit’s built-in sales tax options will act as a backup for providing tax rates on your products in case the AvaTax service is not available. Runit will flag these transactions and send them when the AvaTax service becomes available. It is important to maintain Runit’s built-in option setting so that the tax applied will be as accurate as possible.
Note: AvaTax mark transactions calculated by Runit as an override within the AvaTax Admin Console transaction section.
Q: Can I use this in Runit’s OpenPro for iPad?
Yes, the AvaTax integration works with Runit OpenPro for iPad. In cases where Runit open is being taken to events in new tax jurisdictions (nexuses), you must update the AvaTax Admin Console nexus settings to ensure accurate tax calculations.
Q: Does AvaTax work with my e-commerce shopping cart?
Yes, AvaTax can e used for e-commerce transactions if you have activated AvaTax services for your website. Your e-commerce transactions will flow into the same portal as your brick-and-mortar ones.
Q: Will Emergency Sellit transactions go to AvaTax?
Yes, Emergency SellIt transactions will automatically be sent to Avatax after the upload into RunIt.
Q: Can e-commerce transactions flow into the AvaTax portal if I am not using AvaTax for my website?
Yes. If your website is integrated with Runit, you have the option of sending web sales to the AvaTax portal, enabling you to manage all reporting in one place.

"When we were looking for a solution at the time as a 19 store operation we were too big for many solutions and too small for others. We found Runit fit the bill allowing us to grow from 19 to upwards of 75 locations along with our backoffice support and integrate with our Distribution Center(s) and Online Business. The ability to grow with us rapidly at times is a major plus to Runit."
