● The problem

Tax is the compliance risk hiding inside every sale.

Rates differ by country, by US state, county, and city, and they change. Charge too little and the liability is yours, not the customer's. Charge nothing and you're exposed the moment you cross a threshold you didn't know existed. Most no-code checkouts leave you to figure this out alone.

Accuracy

Rates resolved to the buyer's exact location.

01

VAT and GST.

EU and UK VAT, and GST for regions that use it, applied at the correct rate for the customer's country with the right invoice treatment.

02

US sales tax, to the postcode.

US tax isn't one rate, it's state plus county plus city. Shoprocket resolves it from our own rate database keyed by state and US postcode, not a flat state guess.

03

Always current.

Rates sync automatically, so a mid-year change in some county's rate doesn't quietly leave you under-collecting. You're always charging the current, correct rate.

● The part nobody else does

Know the moment you owe tax somewhere new.

"Economic nexus" means once your sales into a region pass a threshold, you're legally required to register and collect there. Miss it and the back-taxes are yours.

Nexus monitoring

We watch the thresholds so you don't have to.

Shoprocket tracks your sales into every taxable region and their registration thresholds. As you approach one, you get a heads-up; when you cross it, you're told exactly where and prompted to switch on collection, in one click. No spreadsheet of 50 state thresholds, no nasty surprise at audit time.

  • ✓Sales tracked per taxable region, automatically
  • ✓Early warning as you approach a threshold
  • ✓One click to register and start collecting

● Common questions

Tax questions, answered.

The stuff that keeps sellers up at night.

How accurate is the tax calculation, really?+
Accurate to the buyer's country, US state, and postcode, from a rate database that syncs automatically so you're always on the latest rates. It's built to keep you compliant, not to be a rough estimate.
What is economic nexus and why do I care?+
It's the rule that once your sales into a region cross a set threshold, you must register and collect tax there, even with no physical presence. The thresholds vary by state and are easy to cross unknowingly. Shoprocket's monitoring is what stops that becoming a back-tax bill.
Does tax apply to shipping?+
Where the jurisdiction requires it, yes. You can configure tax on shipping per-method so mixed rules across regions are handled correctly rather than uniformly.
Is this a tax-filing service?+
It calculates and collects the correct tax and tells you where you're registered or approaching nexus. Filing the returns themselves is still done by you or your accountant, we make sure the numbers you file are right.
Which plan includes automated tax and nexus monitoring?+
Automated tax calculation is available from the Growth plan; nexus threshold monitoring is a Business-plan feature. Manual tax rules are available on every plan for simpler needs.
