Wasn't able to include tax amount by using ECOMMERCE SERVICE API

I am using ECOMMERCE SERVICE API (https://docs.clover.com/reference/postorders) to create custom orders and I would like to have taxes included in my receipt. It seems tax_rates property did not work in this case. It was able to submit the order without tax_rates, but an error was occurred when included tax_rates. It said "

Could not find tax rate for line item." 


curl --request POST \
     --url https://scl-sandbox.dev.clover.com/v1/orders \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json'

{
  "items": [
    {
      "tax_rates": [
        {
          "name": "GST",
          "tax_amount": 1000
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}


Has anyone had same issue with using the ECOMMERCE SERVICE API?

You need to create the tax rate (using the rest API) prior to creating the order and pass the id of the tax rate when you create the order.

But the API spec for creating order only accept name & tax_amount. There is no id field for the tax rate.

No, it accepts a uuid, look at the API docs. Regardless, I would recommend that you do not use that API. Use the atomic order endpoint which is more recent and more full-featured.

I can see that. But I just want to make a simple online payment without creating inventory on Clover. The thing is the api does work properly.
