Frequently asked questions
Both Shopify Tax and TaxCloud are solutions that can help you maintain compliance while saving you the time and costs associated with managing sales taxes.
Shopify Tax is the default tax service for Shopify merchants in the United States and provides insights, reports, and rooftop-accurate tax calculations.
The primary difference lies in the services offered: Shopify does not file or remit your sales taxes for you, which could lead to confusion about how the Shopify Tax sales tax process works.
However, TaxCloud can fully assist Shopify sellers with the collection, remittance, and filing of sales taxes. Additionally, for merchants using multiple e-commerce platforms to host their stores, such as BigCommerce or Odoo, you can connect them to one TaxCloud account and manage all your taxes in one place across multiple companies or storefronts.
TaxCloud will not work for all versions of Shopify subscriptions. You can activate TaxCloud with a standard Shopify account, but TaxCloud is not designed for Shopify Plus.
No, the only thing you will need to install is the TaxCloud App, called Simple Sales Tax, available in the Shopify Marketplace. Simply log into your Shopify store to install it. You can integrate multiple stores with one TaxCloud account for streamlined compliance management.
Yes, the Starter plan includes Basic data import integrations, such as Shopify, which costs $19 per month for up to 100 orders. This plan also includes additional features such as single state filing, return-ready sales tax reports, support, and team management functionality.
