# How it works

* Use the Digital River Global Commerce version 2.2.0 Extension for Adobe Commerce to enable Digital River to be the merchant of record for storefronts hosted in Magento.
* Magento maintains all pricing and product data.
* Digital River maintains minimal product data to fulfill the requirements for the merchant of record for tax calculations, tax collections, tax payments, and payment processing.
* Digital River automatically syncs with Magento via the extension to acquire the information needed to calculate taxes and enable the merchant of record functions.
* Digital River maintains a copy of the cart, customer, and order, while Magento retains the original data.

{% hint style="info" %}
Digital River’s extension does not send emails directly to shoppers. All emails must be configured and sent by the client using Magento or their preferred email platform.
