Understanding Read-only vs. Tax Engine Integrations in Kintsugi

Learn more about the difference of Read-only and Tax Engine integrations for syncing sales tax data between platforms.

Updated 6 days ago

This help articles will help you better understand two data connection types offered in Kintsugi.

Read-Only Integrations (Restricted Access)

Read-only integrations provide limited access, allowing data synchronization from your connected platform while restricting any modifications or adjustments to sales tax information on invoices. This means that:

You must manually configure and maintain tax settings within the connected platform
It is your responsibility to ensure that sales tax collection is enabled and configured properly.

IMPORTANT:

Since Kintsugi does not modify tax settings for Read-only integrations, you should:

Confirm that your integrated platform (e.g., Shopify) is set up to collect sales tax in the correct jurisdictions.
Ensure your products are categorized correctly within your store account to align with Kintsugi's tax calculations.
Regularly review your tax settings to avoid discrepancies between Collected Tax and Calculated Tax.
