Quickstart

Go from zero to your first tax calculation in four steps.
1

Get a trial token

Spin up a free trial environment to explore and test the APIs before going live. Your token comes pre-configured with all 47 remote-seller state registrations.
2

Authenticate

Pass your token as a bearer token in the Authorization header on every request. See Authentication.
3

Run your first calculation

Send a transaction to POST /calculations to get the tax due plus a full jurisdiction breakdown in real time.
4

Post the transaction

Persist the sale for filing with POST /transactions. This is the core calculate-then-post workflow behind every Zamp integration.
