Avalara Expands Partnership With Bigcommerce to Automate Sales Tax Calculations for All Merchants

By AIT News Desk On Jun 23, 2020

Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based tax compliance automation for businesses of all sizes, announced that it has expanded its partnership with BigCommerce, a leading open SaaS eCommerce platform for fast-growing and established brands. With the new agreement, Avalara is the preferred partner providing BigCommerce customers with a portfolio of solutions to solve their tax compliance needs.

The expanded partnership will provide all BigCommerce customers with access to new Avalara products, as well as Avalara’s existing suite of end-to-end tax compliance solutions to automate sales tax management. Additionally, BigCommerce small business customers will have access to special no-charge sales tax calculations offers. Customers can combine this with Avalara Returns for Small Business, a recently announced new product that helps small businesses automate the sales tax return preparation process and eliminate the hassle of manually filing returns to each state website.

“Today’s consumers expect an easy online shopping experience from start to finish, and our goal as an ecommerce platform is to ensure retailers have all the tools necessary to make that happen,” said Russell Klein, chief commercial officer at BigCommerce. “With an industry-leading partner like Avalara automating sales tax calculations, the online checkout process is simplified, giving consumers the experience they want while simultaneously freeing up resources so merchants can focus on the all-important task of growing revenue rather than managing the back-office minutiae of tax compliance.”
