No, Shopify does not automatically collect or remit sales tax on orders. Unlike marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy, Shopify is an e-commerce platform that does not handle sales tax for merchants. Instead, each merchant is responsible for:
Configuring tax settings in their Shopify store.
Collecting sales tax from customers.
Remitting collected taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.
Shopify provides tools to help merchants calculate taxes, but you must input your tax IDs and confirm your settings are accurate.
Important
Always verify your tax obligations in your region and regularly ensure that your store correctly collects taxes to remain compliant.
