This service is required for the plugin’s core functionality: without it, duties, VAT and customs charges cannot be calculated. An active ePAL Global account is required. **ePAL Global API** What it is used for: calculating customs duties, VAT/taxes and landed costs; checking IOSS eligibility; screening for sanctions and restrictions; validating shipping addresses and Tax/VAT IDs; and generating customs-related documentation for international orders. What data is sent and when: data is sent to the ePAL Global API (https://api.epalglobal. co) each time landed costs are calculated — for example when a customer sets or changes their shipping destination in the cart or at checkout, and when an order is processed. The data sent may include product details (price, quantity, HS/customs classification, weight), order totals, the customer’s shipping address (country and postal code), any Tax/VAT ID provided at checkout, and the store configuration relevant to the calculation. All communication is performed over secure HTTPS connections. Shippo (optional): when you enable the label and shipping-provider features, shipment data is passed to Shippo through the ePAL Global API in order to test the shipping- provider connection and generate shipping labels and documents. Shippo is a trademark of Shippo, Inc.; this plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Shippo.
