This GitHub repository is the PHP SDK for Avalara's world-class tax service, AvaTax. It uses the AvaTax REST v2 API, which is a fully REST implementation and provides a single client for all AvaTax functionality. For more information about AvaTax REST v2, please visit Avalara's Developer Network or view the online Swagger documentation.

Installing the PHP SDK

The AvaTax PHP SDK is available as a Composer package.

To use the AvaTax PHP SDK from Composer:

• Add a composer.json file to your project and link to AvaTax:

{
    "require": {
        "avalara/avataxclient": "*"
    }
}

• Run composer install to download the latest version.

Using the PHP SDK

The PHP SDK uses a fluent interface to define a connection to AvaTax and to make API calls to calculate tax on transactions. Here's an example of connecting to the API.

<?php

// Include the AvaTaxClient library
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Avalara\AvaTaxClient;

// Create a new client
$client = new Avalara\AvaTaxClient('phpTestApp', '1.0', 'localhost', 'sandbox');
$client->withSecurity('myUsername', 'myPassword');

// If I am debugging, I can call 'Ping' to see if I am connected to the server
$p = $client->ping();
echo('<h2>Ping</h2>');
echo('<pre>' . json_encode($p, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) . '</pre>');
if ($p->authenticated == true) {
    echo '<p>Authenticated!</p>';
}

// Create a simple transaction for $100 using the fluent transaction builder
$tb = new Avalara\TransactionBuilder($client, "DEFAULT", Avalara\DocumentType::C_SALESINVOICE, 'ABC');
$t = $tb->withAddress('SingleLocation', '123 Main Street', null, null, 'Irvine', 'CA', '92615', 'US')
    ->withLine(100.0, 1, null, "P0000000")
    ->create();
echo('<h2>Transaction #1</h2>');
echo('<pre>' . json_encode($t, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) . '</pre>');

// Now, let's create a more complex transaction!
$tb = new Avalara\TransactionBuilder($client, "DEFAULT", Avalara\DocumentType::C_SALESINVOICE, 'ABC');
$t = $tb->withAddress('ShipFrom', '123 Main Street', null, null, 'Irvine', 'CA', '92615', 'US')
    ->withAddress('ShipTo', '100 Ravine Lane', null, null, 'Bainbridge Island', 'WA', '98110', 'US')
    ->withLine(100.0, 1, null, "P0000000")
    ->withLine(1234.56, 1, null, "P0000000")
    ->withExemptLine(50.0, null, "NT")
    ->withLine(2000.0, 1, null, "P0000000")
    ->withLineAddress(Avalara\TransactionAddressType::C_SHIPFROM, "123 Main Street", null, null, "Irvine", "CA", "92615", "US")
    ->withLineAddress(Avalara\TransactionAddressType::C_SHIPTO, "1500 Broadway", null, null, "New York", "NY", "10019", "US")
    ->withLine(50.0, 1, null, "FR010000")
    ->create();
echo('<h2>Transaction #2</h2>');
echo('<pre>' . json_encode($t, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) . '</pre>');
