Overview

Instant Tax Rate Export allows you to extract the tax rate information for your products as a JSON. The resulting file will contain the tax rates for each country & state (where applicable) for the product tax category provided, including zip codes* if requested (where applicable).

Availability

ITE is available to all 2Checkout accounts.

Rate limit: this service is rate limited and can only be accessed by an account 20 times each day. Tax Rates exported at the beginning of the day should be stored by you for the rest of the day, do not call this service for each customer.

Method and URL

POST: https://secure.2checkout.com/action/taxes.php

Request parameters

2Checkout captures the parameters you send and exports the data to the client.

Requirements

HASH validation

• To validate the SHA2/SHA3 hash signature, you're required to include all mandatory parameters. 2Checkout throws an error if one of these parameters is missing.
• Use UTC for the time zone of REQ_DATE. The difference between the value of REQ_DATE and the moment when you send the request to 2Checkout must be smaller than 5 minutes, or 2Checkout will respond with the 'Request expired' error message.

Authentication

Authenticate requests using:

• HASH. This ia a SHA2/SHA3 Hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) that you create using your account's secret key and the parameters marked as mandatory for HASH validation. To build the source string, prepend each value with its own length in bytes. Use 0 for null or empty values without prepending their length. However, when the value is 0 (zero), you do need to prepend its length (1). Note that for UTF-8 characters the length in bytes can be longer that the string length.
• REQ_DATE. Use UTC time zone.

Optional: The authentication can be restricted by IP or range of IPs from firewall (Accounts settings > User access > Firewall) for the special service user. If the IP from where you make the request is not configured in 2Checkout, the authentication fails.

Response

Provided that your request is valid, you will receive the information in line, in JSON format with HTTP code 200.

Code sample

<?php
// init
$host = 'https://secure.2checkout.com/action/taxes.php';
