TaxJar is a third-party tax calculation and reporting app that you can integrate with Spiffy Checkouts. It has more advanced tax reporting and filing capabilities that are well-suited for companies based in the United States.

If you haven’t used TaxJar’s API before, there will be an option to generate a secure API Key.
Once you have your TaxJar secure API key, we will head over to Spiffy. Just click on Settings > Integrations from the bottom left navigation.
