Quaderno vs TaxJar: What are the differences?
Developers describe Quaderno as "Invoicing for Stripe, Braintree, and PayPal". Quaderno is a set of APIs to automate and improve billing management in businesses of all sizes. On the other hand, TaxJar is detailed as "Sales Tax API with Automated Reporting and Filing". SmartCalcs by TaxJar enables applications and marketplaces to provide accurate sales tax calculations at checkout.
Quaderno belongs to "SaaS for Stripe" category of the tech stack, while TaxJar can be primarily classified under "Accounting".
Some of the features offered by Quaderno are:
- An API that gets out of your way. With wrappers in Ruby, PHP, and more, you can get started in minutes.
- Integration with several payment gateways
- Taxes management
On the other hand, TaxJar provides the following key features:
- Accurate Sales Tax Calculations
- Sales Tax Sourcing Rules
- Shipping Taxability by State
We are building a subscription platform on Kajabi, and are needing guidance on when/where to collect sales tax. Does anyone have experience with either of these tools in a similar application? We're not familiar with this process with digital goods --we are building a streaming-only platform, but there will be options for people to purchase workbooks or other printed physical materials. Do we only collect for the physical goods vs digital, or are there exceptions state-by-state, as I have read elsewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, but I have'nt expertise on Taxjar, but on Quaderno I've done a integration using their API.
For known about what taxes we must to apply based on from comes the customer. And to made invoices, credits and receipts.
Due to our needs we don't use subscription system from Quaderno, first because when we started with they that service do'nt exists yet, and second because we need to invoice a different ammount on every invoice based on which plan and consume are done by every customer.
They are kind, responds fast to queries, and their API are simple but powerful. We use webhooks to register all the changes from the invoices, contacts (customers), and all the other documents.
You can see their API and SDKs on https://github.com/quaderno
Good luck.
