The exact aggregation logic might vary (e.g., summing costs for the same shipping service level across suppliers, presenting distinct options per supplier).\n\n4. **Tax Calculation:** Catalog queries an integrated tax rate provider (e.g., Shopify's API) using the provided `shipping_address` and `billing_address` to calculate the tax line items for this order.\n\n**Response (`TaxAndShippingResponseSerializer`):**\n\n- `rates` (list): A list of available shipping rate options. Each object contains:\n\n  - `title` (string): The name of the shipping service (e.g., 'Standard Ground', 'Express Overnight').\n\n  - `price` (Money object): The calculated cost for this shipping option, including `amount` (decimal string) and `currency` (string).\n\n  - Potentially other fields depending on the Supplier's integration.\n\n- `tax_amount` (string): Total sum of the taxes applied to this order.\n\n- `currency` (string): Currency for the current order.\n\n- `tax_lines_per_supplier`: Dictionary mapping a supplier's id to a list of tax line responses.\n\nThis response allows the Storefront to present the customer with accurate shipping choices and costs before finalizing the order.\n\n"

      description: '

        **[Storefront Only]** Calculate estimated tax lines and available shipping options and costs, given a set of line items, shipping address, and optionally a billing address.


        This endpoint is typically used during the checkout process after the customer has provided their shipping address.


        **Process:**


        1. **Tax Calculation:** Rokt Catalog queries an integrated tax rate provider (e.g., Shopify''s API) using the provided `shipping_address` and `billing_address` to calculate the tax line items for this order.


        2. **Shipping Calculation:** Catalog queries an integrated shipping rate provider (e.g., Shopify''s API) using the provided `shipping_address` and the subset of `line_items` belonging to that Supplier.
