Taxation for an order generated via the API

I am in the process of enhancing the e-commerce and payment functionalities on my name generator website. I am looking to integrate Clover as our main payment gateway to streamline our transaction processes.

While I have some background in web development, my experience with Clover's API and its integration specifics is limited. I'm reaching out for guidance and insights from those who have experience in this particular area. My questions include:

  1. Initial Setup for Name Generator Website: What are the essential steps to integrate Clover as a payment system specifically for a name generator website? Are there any unique considerations for digital product platforms?

  2. API Integration Code Samples: Could anyone share example codes or a step-by-step guide on integrating Clover's API with a website, particularly one built on [WordPress]? I'm especially interested in code snippets for initiating transactions and processing responses.

  3. Security for Digital Transactions: How does Clover ensure secure transactions, and what additional security measures should I implement for a digital product website to comply with standards like PCI DSS?

  4. Optimizing User Experience: Any tips or customizable features in Clover that can enhance the checkout experience for a digital audience, particularly one focused on generating and purchasing names?

  5. Troubleshooting and Common Issues: What common challenges might arise during the integration with a name generator website, and how can they be resolved?

  6. Developer Support and Resources: Are there specific Clover documentation or support channels for developers that cater to digital product-related websites?

  7. Experiences and Best Practices: I'd appreciate hearing about others' experiences with integrating Clover into similar websites. What are the best practices, and what should be avoided?

Your insights and advice will be invaluable in making this transition smooth and efficient. Thank you in advance for your assistance and for sharing your expertise.

Have you read through our docs on order taxes? https://docs.clover.com/docs/calculating-order-totals#step-5-taxes

The tax has to be assigned to the Clover inventory item for it to apply successfully in the API call
