Overview

In order for shipping or tax to be applied to your orders, you must turn either of these features on within the Merchant Portal. When you enable either feature, you will be prompted to provide Skipify with a Callback URL. Skipify will make a call to this URL whenever an address is selected by a customer during checkout and read the response body for tax and/or shipping information.

This allows Skipify to display the correct shipping and tax details based on your customer's address. When they make a selection, we will update the order with the new totals before submitting payment to your gateway.
