How do I set up sales tax through my sales channel?
If you’re selling through a stand-alone store and have determined that you have nexus with a state, the next step is to register for a sales tax permit with that state to begin collecting sales tax. Once you have a sales tax permit (or seller permit), you can start collecting sales tax in your store. For more information on setting up sales tax, check the links below.
In these cases, we recommend submitting a resale certificate to Printify so that orders from your store are exempt from sales tax in Printify:
Marketplaces: Amazon US, Etsy, eBay US, Walmart US, and TikTok Shop US
Amazon US, Etsy, eBay US, Walmart US, and TikTok Shop US are registered as marketplace facilitators in the majority of states and are required to collect and remit sales taxes on behalf of their merchants. To avoid double taxation, orders carried out through our direct integrations with these marketplaces will be automatically exempt from sales tax charges.
Unless you have nexus in these states, you will not be required to do any additional remitting. Learn more by visiting this article in our blog. For more specific information, please reach out to sales channel representatives or tax consultants.
Printify Pop-Up Store
In this setup, there’s only a single transaction occurring—between Printify (Pop-Up Store) and the customer. Consequently, sales tax is automatically applied at Pop-Up Store checkout and paid by the customer.
This contrasts with other sales channels, where transactions occur between the customer and the merchant, as well as between the merchant and Printify. In those cases, a resale certificate is required to verify that the goods are being resold, preventing double taxation. However, in the case of Pop-Up Store, a resale certificate is unnecessary and does not need to be submitted.
