Tax: creates or replaces the merchant's binding for one provider.
PUT
/api/merchants/{id}/tax-bindings/{providerName}
deprecated
Requires: Merchants.Merchants.Update, merchant scope.
Example body for a merchant on its own provider contract: ``` { "isEnabled": true, "credentialSource": "Merchant", "defaultCountryCode": "USA", "fieldValues": [ { "key": "TaxCalculation.ZipTax.ApiKey", "value": "…" }, { "key": "TaxCalculation.ZipTax.ApiVersion", "value": "v60" } ] } ``` For a provider the gateway holds the account for, send `"credentialSource": "Gateway"` and no field values at all: the gateway's own credentials are resolved at lookup time and are never copied onto the merchant. Omitting a secret keeps the value already stored, which is what a caller that read the binding first will naturally send, because reads never return one. Optionally send `If-Match: "<concurrencyStamp>"` for optimistic concurrency (409 on a stale stamp).
Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.
Example request
Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.
The request body is a MerchantTaxBinding. See the Request body section below for its fields.
Parameters

, required
| Field | Type | Description | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
providerName
required |
string | Which tax provider this entry binds the merchant to, by the provider's registered name.
Compared case-insensitively. A null or blank provider is treated as no binding at all, so an
incompletely boarded row cannot silently become a live selection.
Required: When IsEnabled is true.
nullablemax length 64
Values:
Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.
| |||||||||||||||
isEnabled
required |
boolean | Master enable flag for this provider on this merchant. When `false` or null, the selector
must not return this binding even though the row exists.

credentialSource
required |
TaxCredentialSource TaxCredentialSource | Whose provider account the lookups are billed to. Null reads as
`Gateway`.

fieldValues
required |
array of TaxBindingFieldValue array of TaxBindingFieldValue | The provider-declared configuration values for this merchant, keyed by the setting names the
provider declares.
<b>Secret values are stored encrypted</b> and are stripped, not decrypted, on every read that
leaves the server: the admin UI and the API both see null and re-send a secret only when the
operator changes it. Only the server-side call to the provider ever uses the plaintext.
Empty for a `Gateway` binding, whose values are filled in at
read time from the host-scoped provider settings instead. A gateway-sourced row that carried
values would be a copy of the gateway's key living on a merchant document.
Conditional: When FieldValues is not null.

gateway-wide `TaxCalculation.DefaultCountryCode` setting.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
