What touchpoints do you offer?
We sync sales to and from Odoo. We can sync stock updates from Odoo to a selling channel, like Shopify.
How do I map sales tax?
Odoo allows order items to have different tax codes.
If the item is of type service, then no tax code is required. Odoo will assume non-taxable. All inventory parts required a tax code. Here are shipping, discounts and tax without tax codes:

You must write a rule in Connex to map the tax code. In this example, we will map 0% as the tax code and add tax as a line item.
- Log into Connex Ecommerce.
- Go to sales tax.
- Check add tax as a line item.
- Go to rules engine.
- Go to add new rule.
- Enter the title Map 0% Exports.
- As the action, enter map order item tax code.
- In the conditions, enter SKU (after rules) is not, *. This tells Connex to always apply the rule.
- In the value field, enter 0% Exports.
Here is the end result:
