Avalara has announced a significant update to the configuration process for its connectors, which took effect on 21st August 2024. This update is designed to streamline the setup process and provide a more user-friendly experience for partners and customers.
Key changes
Avalara is moving the configuration settings for its built connectors to the Avalara Portal. This centralised approach simplifies the setup process and enhances functionality and support options. The update covers a range of connectors, including popular platforms like WooCommerce, Stripe Invoicing, Shopify, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics and Adobe Commerce.
How will this benefit you?
By moving the configuration settings to a centralised portal, Avalara aims to make it easier for users to manage their integrations and reduce the complexity of the tax compliance process. This update won’t affect existing configurations, so no immediate action is required. However, Avalara recommends updating your connector to the latest version to take advantage of the new features and improved support.
Resources and support
Avalara will publish detailed articles in its Knowledge Centre to assist with this transition, offering step-by-step guidance on updating and managing your connectors. These resources will be available starting August 21, 2024. Partners are encouraged to contact Avalara’s support team for any additional questions.
Conclusion
This update significantly improves the configuration of Avalara connectors, making it easier for businesses to comply with tax regulations. Check out the Avalara Knowledge Centre for more details and update your connectors to take advantage of the enhanced functionality.
