AccurateTax.com understands each store owner's needs are different, so we've created two TaxTools offerings - Basic and Advanced TaxTools. Each is described in detail below. If you have any questions, or aren't sure which package would work best for your situation, just contact us at 866.400.2444 or email us at info@accuratetax.com.
There are two options when selecting your TaxTools offering - Basic and Advanced. You can read about the feature sets for both offerings at the website, but briefly, the Basic service allows you to get all the best, most accurate rates on a zip+4 basis for a given customer. Tax data is no longer managed on your end, so there's no painful monthly importing process to deal with. Secondly, you can see how many calls your system is making and adjust your payment plan accordingly. The Basic solution assumes either you or your customers have the ability to determine their zip+4 information. If however, this is not an option, you can use the Advanced TaxTools option.
In addition to the services available in the Basic offering, the Advanced TaxTools solution provides multi-state support for store owners with nexuses in more than one state, Address Scrubbing and validation, which is not only an asset to determining the accurate zip+4 codes, but also could help give you additional shipping discounts with your shipping carriers, as well as a custom reporting feature for determining what taxes were paid to which locales when it comes time to remit your sales tax to your state.
If perhaps sales tax support isn't something you think you need, you may still want to consider our US Address Scrubbing and Validation utility portion of the Advanced offering as we now provide it as a standalone offering too. During the development of AccurateTax TaxTools, we realized that there really is no solution in the Miva marketplace that allows you to have addresses scrubbed and validated that is NOT tied directly to the US Postal Service, which means you're not supposed to use the USPS address validation for other shipping services.
As such, we decided this was a great opportunity to provide Miva Merchant store owners with a service that could potentially help lower their shipping costs (due to Address Correction fees) or save on customer support by allowing CSRs to better use their time in areas other than trying to track down valid shipping addresses. Perhaps you're looking to have mail addresses scrubbed as part of a direct mail marketing campaign. We're sure you may have other reasons for wanting to ensure your shipping addresses are validated, so whatever the reason, NetBlazon is here to assist you.
