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:
If you're collecting sales tax, we recommend submitting a resale certificate separately for each applicable state, or using the MTC form to apply for exemptions in multiple states at once—so that orders shipped to those states are automatically exempt from sales tax in Printify.
Marketplaces: Amazon US, Etsy, eBay US, and TikTok Shop US
Amazon US, Etsy, eBay 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
With Pop-Up Store, you won’t have to pay upfront for your orders. However, behind the scenes, two transactions are taking place: one between the customer and the merchant, and another between the merchant and Printify. Because you (the merchant) are the one purchasing goods from Printify, sales tax may apply to items on Printify unless you submit a valid resale certificate.
Sales tax will not be applied directly to your customers, and no tax will be deducted from your payouts, making you solely responsible for handling your tax obligations. We recommend factoring the sales tax amount into your retail price to ensure you can cover any taxes due later.
