Shopify's tax system

June 22, 2021

I am not good at math, so I appreciate the solutions of online stores that make my life easier, especially when it comes to a topic that no one likes: taxation.

Shopify doesn't do anything impressive in terms of taxes, but I like that it doesn't require rocket science to set it up and it does work.

You can display the price including tax, or you can display the price without tax, any price that suits you.
Shopify includes an automatic tax calculator for postal codes only available for U.S. stores.

You can also add manual tax settings for countries or regions. If you target customers in Europe, you can also adjust tax settings to comply with European regulations, even for digital products. This means using a reverse charging mechanism to allow your business customers to shop without VAT, but this will require an external application.
