Cross-border compliance with EAS can also be done via API as a post sales approach also
This integration method might be used when it is difficult or impossible to inject VAT calculation mechanism into the checkout process.
In other case it is better to use this method API description for manual connection to EAS system (online VAT calculation)
These methods might be used when VAT calculated on the store side and orders will be processed by the EAS solution as is or if store platform does not support VAT calculation, then VAT will be calculated for the orders treating prices as VAT inclusive.
Start from the choosing of export method type. If your shop platform properly calculates taxes and it is possible to retrieve VAT rate and VAT amount per item from the platform the use “Post sale without landed cost method” otherwise use “Post sale with landed cost method”
