Integrations

Learn how to connect supported stores to VAT Engine, map reporting sources, review connection health, and find platform-specific setup guidance.

Overview

Use Dashboard -> Integrations when you want to connect a store or commerce platform to your VAT Engine customer account.

This section is for merchants, implementation partners, and developers who are setting up or managing an account connection.

Shopify is the first storefront connector in this section. Depending on the connection offered for your account, setup starts from Shopify Admin or Dashboard -> Integrations.

What Integrations Are For

  • Linking one external store to the correct VAT Engine account
  • Reusing or creating a VAT Engine source profile for store-level reporting
  • Storing the credentials needed for future sync and webhook handling
  • Reviewing connection status and recent activity from the dashboard

Integrations complement the VAT Engine API. If your checkout or ERP only needs direct VAT calculation calls, start with Quick Start and the API reference. If you also want store-level reporting, imports, or connector-based workflows, use Integrations as well.

Typical Setup Flow

  1. Create or sign in to the VAT Engine customer account that should own the store connection.
  2. Open Dashboard -> Integrations.
  3. Choose the platform you want to connect.
  4. Link the store to an existing VAT Engine source profile, or leave it unmapped until later.
  5. Save the connection and confirm it shows the expected store details and status.

If you manage stores for multiple clients, double-check that you are signed in to the correct VAT Engine customer account before adding credentials or saving the integration.
