How To Charge Sales Tax: Guide for US Businesses (2026) - Shopify
Executive Summary

Shopify published a 2026 sales tax compliance guide for US businesses. Covers nexus rules, collection requirements, and remittance obligations across states.

Our Take

Multi-channel sellers often misconfigure tax settings on Shopify while assuming marketplace facilitator laws cover them everywhere — they don't for direct-to-consumer channels. Audit your Shopify tax settings and confirm nexus states match your Amazon/Walmart footprint.

What This Means

As marketplace facilitator laws mature, sellers expanding DTC channels face growing state tax exposure that platforms won't handle for them — a quiet compliance risk amid channel diversification.

Key Takeaways

Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Taxes and Duties — verify nexus states are current, especially if you added new 3PL warehouse locations in 2025.

Cross-reference your Shopify nexus list against your Amazon inventory placement states using the FBA Inventory report in Seller Central within 30 days.

Bottom Line

Shopify tax guide reminds multi-channel sellers to audit nexus beyond marketplaces.
