This expansion involves Avalara joining the Shopify Tax Platform, enabling Shopify merchants of any size to easily manage and automate global tax compliance with Avalara.
“With Avalara joining as a Shopify Tax Platform Partner, we are able to address the unique compliance requirements of businesses — from small businesses to enterprise companies — globally,” said Bobby Morrison, Chief Revenue Officer at Shopify.
“Together, Avalara and Shopify are building on the value we’ve been bringing to Shopify Plus customers for nearly a decade to all Shopify customers, enabling them to transact, comply, and scale globally with confidence.”
Avalara has been a longtime partner of Shopify, providing tax calculation services for Shopify Plus customers since 2015. Additionally, Avalara has natively powered tax calculations, nexus tracking, and tax return filing preparation for Shopify Tax since 2022.
By joining the Shopify Tax Partner Platform, Avalara can now serve all Shopify customers with their global tax compliance requirements, including sales tax, value-added tax, exemption certificate management, 1099 and W-9 forms, property tax, and more.
“Avalara has worked alongside Shopify for years to simplify tax compliance requirements for merchants and ensure that compliance never gets in the way of their growth,” said Meg Higgins, SVP of Global Partners at Avalara.
“By being one of the first partners available on the Shopify Tax Platform, we’re now able to support even more Shopify customers with their global tax compliance obligations by seamlessly integrating our industry-leading tax solutions into the Shopify platform.”
