I am using paypal for my payments, i wanted to include the tax thing w.r.t zip code. like when customer enters the zip code i could get the sales tax percentage w.r.t that zip code. I believe there will be any way of it in paypal but unfortunately i couldn't find that. kindly guide me in this regard, thanks
You can use a 3rd party service like http://zip2tax.com/
I think there is also a service on Paypal where you can input the zip code range or US State and tax amount for that area, (but I think it only works with paid Paypal account Website Payments Pro).
Also have a look at: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_ProfileAndTools#id08A9ED00LTU

I have read the document regarding payments and also raised the customer support ticket in Meta for Developers(Developer Support) and find the relevant question but I didn't get the proper solution on how to add Indian Payment Method.
Does anyone know anything about adding payment method in India? Any help would be appreciated.
Latest Update:
WhatsApp Business API has launched payment support in India country from 20 Oct 2022,
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/business-platform/changelog#october-20--2022
Note: Your location and currency cannot be changed once set, refer to the documentation
There is no India country on the Payment settings page, see the available countries,
First Step
But you can try selecting a random country and you will see the INR currency,
Second Step
Is there a possibility that we could add a custom shipping price at checkout through an API call or script?
I want to modify the price based on some rules and I can't figure out how to do it in Shopify. Any help will be highly appreciated.
You can do this by implementing your own CarrierService:
https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/shipping-and-fulfillment/carrierservice
You can use an app like this: https://apps.shopify.com/discount-on-cart-pro to display the shipping fee or shipping fee estimate in your cart summary. It’s also free shipping tier compatible, so you can promote that using the app as well.
We have built an e-commerce web application (Node backend, Vue frontend). We process the payment using Stripe, but many brands have asked us if the order and inventory control can be done in Shopify. We are trying to figure out the best way integrate a payment module into Shopify so that the brand can manage the fulfilment and inventory through Shopify.
It seems we should use the Order API to create an order and mark it as paid. But how do we know that the product is in stock, and what are the cost for shipping and tax from Shopify when creating the order? I think we can use the Product API to get inventory levels, but where is the shipping and tax endpoints?
If I understand the Order API correctly, we need to tell Shopify what are the shipping costs and tax costs, when a new order is created. Is that right? How could we possibly know those figures? Seems like there should be an endpoint to calculate shipping costs and get a product's tax rates so that we can then pass those figures back into the Order API. Am I missing something?
I thought maybe we are supposed to create an order that has financial_status: pending first to get shipping and tax rates back (does it even give you those?), then update the order to either cancel_reason: customer or cancel_reason: inventory if those rates are too expensive and the order is declined? But surely we need to know what shipping methods are available to the customer in order to tell Shopify which one to use, right? Or does it by default choose the cheapest one when creating an order?
Notes:
We know the customers shipping address
We don't know where the product is warehoused (Shopify does I think)
We don't know the weights or dimensions of the product (Shopify does I think)
This answer is a little bit late, but i hope, i can help others that are struggling with the same issue.
First i would recommend to set up all Shipping Rates and Taxes in Shopify. There are plenty of manuals to achieve this:
https://help.shopify.com/manual/taxes#general-process-to-set-up-taxes
https://help.shopify.com/manual/shipping/rates-and-methods/calculated-rates
After this there are different possibilities to calculate your shipping and tax cost.
Your shipping cost can you get via the active_shipping API, which can be found here:
https://github.com/Shopify/active_shipping
Or the following Shopify Application: https://apps.shopify.com/boxify
However, you may need to know size and storage location for theese solutions.
The taxes can you get via the country in the Admin API, there is a specific key-value pair for this:
https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/country
I hope that's enough information to get closer to solving the issue, for at least someone.
I just want to start out this post by saying that I am not a programmer, nor do I play one on TV. I have found this site because I have been trying to manage our Magento instance, after pretty much left high and dry by the developers we had building this for us. I will try and explain it the best I can below:
When we apply a shopping cart coupon to the sales order, and the discount is applied to each item, a new line item total is configured by Magento. We then have a connector that takes the information from Magento's API and it is then connected to Open Bravo, which is our ERP accounting software. Open Bravo is grabbing the information as it normally does, however it doesn't see the discount information, so the order total is different in our accounting program then what Magento has. Open Bravo is teling me they need to know where the discounted amount on the sales order in Magento is on the API. It's obviously in a different spot then the standard sales order amount.
I might be able to describe a little better if you hit me with questions. Any help you could provide would be highly appreciated. Maybe we could barter for some office supplies, as that is what we sell.
Thanks!
If you are using Magento API to fetch order information from magento, then below link will be helpful to find actual value.

It seems that your ERP is storing "base_grand_total" value in stead of "grand_total".
Using Google Checkout, I'm able to estimate tax based on the zip code that's assoicated with a user's account when they click "Buy." The user then sees the tax amount when they checkout.
Is it possible to estimate tax based on the user-entered zip code before a user reaches the checkout page? This is similar to the functionality in Google Products currently. I see some data here (http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/articles/Google_Checkout_Articles_Zip_Level_Taxes.html) but am not sure how to implement it within the checkout button I have.
Is there any other tax table or API that allows estimation of taxes based on zip code? Does Paypal offer this functionality?
have you looked at AvaTax module?
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/one-pica-avatax-connector.html
If your building a cart from scratch you can use avalara's api. If your using a specific package such as magento, 3dcart, or so on they already connect to the major solutions. Avalara's solution also bridges the gap between the sales software and the accounting software such as Quickbooks and Sage.
Otherwise if the company your building this for is small enough and has time to update them manually, you can go to the states website or go to a place that compiles free tax rate tables such as taxrates.com
One major warning with any solution, sales tax taxability rules can be complex, this compounds when your scaling an e-commerce business. Even if your a small business in one state, there are multiple layers to the rules. Best to work talk with an accountant to double check when your initially setting this up.
