Introduction

When we talk about taxes applied to an order, Shopify is expected to provide inventory feed prices as NET (i.e., VAT exclusive). They are usually applied at checkout by Shopify if the settings are determined accordingly.
Although Shopify prices are intended to be VAT-exclusive by default, vendors may use them differently by choosing not to apply taxes and setting a VAT-included retail price instead.
Because Onport does not apply any taxes, the Marketplaces must be mindful of the prices their vendors are using to calculate taxes and adjust their settings.

In Onport, these are the important settings marketplaces need to be mindful of:
