As of Jan 1, 2025, SHOP will now act as a Marketplace that collects and remits tax on behalf of the vendor - seems similar to how Amazon works.  

 

How will this flow through the native Acumatica Shopify Connector to Acumatica and then through the Avalara Connector to AvaTax?   How is the transaction identified as a SHOP transaction?  Are there parameters that need to be set up so that the vendor does not double pay the tax? 

@Arlene , this is a great question! From what I see, Shopify will indeed start to collect and remit taxes for SHOP orders. They will also deduct those taxes from your payout statement. However, when an order is imported into Acumatica, it still has taxes applied as if it was a regular Shopify order. Which will present an issue at the time of reconciliation.

Ideally, a payment document for SHOP orders should have CHARGES populated with taxes, similar to what is done for Amazon orders. If this were implemented, then the payment would reflect that the expected payout is less than the order total, and it would take care of the accounting piece at the time of payment reconciliation.

Now, with all this said, I don’t even know if Shopify has this data properly exposed to the API, which Acumatica connector can then consume to initiate creating CHARGES for payments.

@KarthikGajendran , we need your input here.


Thanks ​@Yuri Karpenko 

@KarthikGajendran This presents an issue with 2 Acumatica native connectors - Shopify and Avalara. 

 

 


There needs to be a way to submit invoices to marketplaces and not calculate tax on them but still report the sales to Avalara.  This is a critical and urgent matter with us.
