Duty inclusive pricing for Managed Markets

Duty-inclusive pricing

When duty-inclusive pricing is activated, duties aren't added to the price of your products at checkout. Instead, customers are informed that their total includes duties. Before you activate this feature, review the following considerations:

  • Duties aren't automatically included in or added to your product prices or checkout. Instead, the charge for duties is omitted entirely. Determine whether you want to pay the cost of duties yourself, or adjust your product prices to compensate.
  • When you activate duty-inclusive pricing, an average cost of duties is provided based on your store's previous sales as a percentage so that you can adjust your prices. If there aren't enough orders to provide a reliable average, then an estimate of duties costs for that market is displayed based on data from comparable stores.
  • Customers are informed at checkout that their price includes duties. You might also want to include this information in your store by adding an announcement bar to your header, or by adding additional product information on product pages.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Markets.

  2. Select the market that you want to update.

  3. Click Duties and import taxes.

  4. In the Collecting in prices or at checkout section, click the pencil icon. Your current tax and duties settings are displayed, as well as a preview of how these settings are communicated to your customers.

  5. Optional: Review and record the average cost of duties to adjust your product prices later.

  6. Click the pencil icon.

  7. In the Duties section, select Don't add duties.

  8. Click Done.

When making your selection, you can preview how prices are displayed to your customers in the checkout.
