What’s New at Shopify?

On May 1, the AvaTax app was deprecated for merchants collecting sales tax in the United States. Merchants who were still using the legacy AvaTax app were migrated to Shopify Tax.

Merchants should confirm that your taxes are calculated as expected. Unless you have previously opted out, Shopify has migrated the following settings from AvaTax:

• Product tax codes, where there is a like-for-like mapping
  
• Customer exemptions
  
• Regions where you collect tax (tax registrations)

Due to differences in tax services, some settings were not migrated. For more information on how to update your Shopify Tax settings, please review the migration guide.

Avalara Tax Compliance is still available

If you would like to use Avalara’s new app, contact them here as soon as possible. Note that for each additional store, the app must be installed and activated separately.

For remaining merchants, the AvaTax app will be deprecated soon. If you do not switch your tax service, you will be migrated to one or more of Shopify’s tax services.
