Shopifysales tax, sorted.
Shopify doesn't collect sales tax for you. Every state you ship into is your direct obligation. Taxero tracks every threshold and files in states where you're obligated.
Start Tracking Shopify Sales →Shopify doesn't collect for you
This is the critical difference between Shopify and marketplace platforms like Whatnot or TikTok Shop.
Not a marketplace facilitator
Unlike Whatnot, TikTok Shop, Amazon, or eBay, Shopify does not collect and remit sales tax as a marketplace facilitator. Your store, your obligation.
Every nexus state is direct exposure
Every state where your sales cross economic nexus thresholds is a state where you must register, collect, and file. There is no intermediary.
Higher urgency, higher exposure
Most Shopify sellers don't realize their exposure until a notice arrives from a state's department of revenue. Taxero catches this before it becomes a problem.
How to export from Shopify
Six steps. Takes less than 2 minutes.
Log in to Shopify Admin
Go to admin.shopify.com and sign in to your store.
Click "Orders"
In the left sidebar, click "Orders" to open your orders list.
Click "Export"
In the top right of the Orders page, click the "Export" button.
Choose export options
Select "All orders" and choose "CSV for Excel, Numbers, or other spreadsheet programs".
Click "Export orders"
Click the "Export orders" button. Shopify will email you the CSV (or download it directly for smaller stores).
Upload to Taxero
Upload the downloaded CSV to Taxero and select "Shopify" as your platform. We handle the rest.
Note: Shopify exports one row per line item — if an order has 3 products, it will have 3 rows. Taxero automatically combines multi-item orders for accurate totals.

The Shopify seller's compliance reality
Growing Shopify stores are often the most exposed sellers in the US market.
Most exposed seller type
Unlike marketplace sellers who have a platform intermediary, Shopify store owners have direct obligations in every state they cross nexus. There's no safety net.
Each new state = new obligation
As you expand shipping across the US, each new state where your sales cross the economic nexus threshold becomes a direct filing obligation. Most sellers hit 5-10 states before they realize it.
Notices arrive without warning
Most Shopify sellers don't discover their sales tax exposure until a notice arrives from a state's department of revenue — sometimes with years of back-tax and penalties attached.
Taxero catches it before it becomes a problem
Taxero tracks every state threshold as you upload your orders, and files returns in states where you're obligated. You stay compliant as you grow, not after a crisis.
