Default tax not getting applied on clover custom orders(API).

I have set default taxes on clover dashboard.

I have created a custom order api call

                  ->
                 post
                 (
                 "{
                  
                 $this
                 ->
                 baseUrlPlatformApi
                 }/v3/merchants/"
                  
                 .
                  
                 $cloverMerchantId
                  
                 .
                  
                 '/orders'
                 , 
                 [
                

                  
                 'note'
                  => 
                 'Membership payment order.'

]);

Then made line items for that above order like below and posted to respective endpoint:

                 $lineItem
                  = [

                  
                 "name"
                  => 
                 "
                 membership payment"
                 ,
                  
                

                  
                 "price"
                  => 
                 dollarToCents
                 (
                 $membershipTotal
                 )
                  
                

];

                 ->
                 post
                 (
                 "{
                  
                 $this
                 ->
                 baseUrlPlatformApi
                 }/v3/merchants/"
                  
                 .
                  
                 $cloverMerchantId
                  
                

                  
                 .
                  
                 '/orders/'
                  
                 .
                  
                 $order
                 [
                 'id'
                 ] 
                 .
                  
                 '/line_items'
                 , 
                 $lineItem
                

);

the problem is default taxes is not bieng applied to it.

how can i make default taxes be applied on custom clover orders?

Please see the note in the UI - "Default (will be added to any items with "Default Taxes and fees" turned on"). As a side note, I would highly recommend you use our atomic order endpoints to work with orders, not the APIs you are using - https://docs.clover.com/docs/working-with-orders.

Ok, so you aren't using Clover inventory, which means the dashboard setting isn't going to apply (there is no Clover item that has the associated tax rate). You need to pass the tax rate with your request per the documentation - https://docs.clover.com/docs/creating-custom-orders#adding-a-custom-line-item
