Avalara Announces New Sales Tax Automation Solution For Bigcommerce Stores

 Avalara, Inc., (www.Avalara.com), a leading provider of cloud-based software that delivers a broad array of compliance solutions related to sales tax and other transactional taxes, today announced that Bigcommerce, a leading ecommerce platform for fast-growing brands, has integrated Avalara’s sales tax calculation software into the Bigcommerce control panel.

As a result of this partnership, customers can now use Avalara’s AvaTax™ sales tax capabilities within Bigcommerce’s existing workflow to automatically calculate the final sales tax amount on every invoice. This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.

“We’re focused on helping our clients manage their businesses more efficiently,” said Tim Schulz, senior vice president of product at Bigcommerce. “Our integration with Avalara will allow thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses using our platform to more easily manage and remain up-to-date on increasingly complicated tax regulations.”

Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer at Avalara said, “We’re pleased to integrate Avalara’s sales tax compliance service into the Bigcommerce platform, which allows their customers to take advantage of our solution in a fast, easy and cost effective way. In today’s electronic world it just doesn’t make sense to manually manage sales tax.”
