The short answer

Does Shopify file your sales tax?

For most stores, no. Shopify Tax calculates and collects sales tax at checkout, but registering, filing and paying each state stays with you. Zamp does that part: nexus across every channel, registrations, filing, remittance and notices, for one price.

Shopify sales tax compliance, end to end.

Shopify keeps calculating at checkout. Zamp automates the rest of your Shopify sales tax, with our team checking the work and your approval where it counts.

Returns filed without you touching a portal.

Each month you get one email with your liability by state. Approve it and we file every return and pay each state by ACH, including local returns in home-rule states like Colorado and Alaska.

Multi-channel

Shopify sales tax nexus, counted channel by channel.

Most Shopify brands also sell on Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart or Faire, and states don't agree on what counts. Texas counts marketplace sales toward its threshold and Florida doesn't8, so Zamp tracks every channel the way each state does.

  • Marketplace orders. Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart and Meta orders are reported as marketplace sales, so tax the marketplace already paid isn't filed again.
  • Wholesale and Faire. Faire orders and sales to exempt resellers count as resale in your returns and your nexus tracker.
  • One view. Your online store, the Shop app and point of sale roll into the same state-by-state picture as everything else.

Not just a tool. A sales tax team.

Every Zamp subscription is a managed service. The platform calculates and tracks, and our tax specialists register, file, remit, and answer the state.

Does Shopify collect sales tax?

Yes. Shopify Tax calculates and collects sales tax at checkout in the states where you turn on collection6. Shopify asks you to register with a state before you collect there4. Collecting is the first step; the tax still has to be reported and paid to each state.

Does Shopify remit sales tax or file sales tax returns?

For most stores, no. Shopify says it doesn't remit sales tax for you unless your sales tax is managed by Shopify or you're enrolled in automated filing1. Automated filing is closed to new enrollment and covers sales only through December 31, 20262, 5. Managed sales tax is in early access for some stores opened after October 27, 2026, and it doesn't cover point of sale or B2B orders7.

What happens when Shopify's automated filing ends?

Shopify Tax keeps calculating at checkout, but you need a plan for every return after your last automated one2. Shopify names Zamp as one of its filing services2. We plan the handoff around your last automated return, import your Shopify history and file from there.

How does Zamp track Shopify sales tax nexus across channels?

Zamp counts your sales by channel against each state's rules. Some states, such as Texas and California, include marketplace sales in the threshold, and others, such as Florida and Georgia, leave them out8. Sales to exempt resellers are tracked as resale. You see where you stand before a threshold, and we register you when you cross one.

What's the best sales tax app for Shopify if I don't want to file myself?

One that does the filing, not just the math. Zamp is a managed service: Shopify keeps calculating at checkout, and our team handles nexus, registrations, filing, remittance and notices for one price. Shopify names Zamp as a filing service for stores moving off automated filing2.

How is Zamp different from TaxJar on Shopify?

Zamp is a managed service, so a team does the work instead of software you run. TaxJar's AutoFile submits returns in the states where you're registered10. With Zamp, registrations, filing, remittance and notices are all handled by our team for one price, and Shopify Tax can keep calculating at checkout.

Why doesn't Zamp match my Shopify sales tax report?

Usually because the two reports answer different questions. Shopify's report uses one store time zone, while Zamp dates each order the way the filing state expects, shows only the states due that month and includes early filing discounts11. Marketplace and wholesale orders are also sorted for filing. Your team will walk you through any difference.

We already use a sales tax provider with Shopify. How do we switch to Zamp?

Most teams switch at the end of a filing period. We move your existing registrations, filing calendar and Shopify history over, your current provider files its last period and Zamp files the next, so no return is missed or filed twice. If you're mid-contract, ask about the Zamp buyout.

We haven’t been collecting or filing sales tax everywhere we should. Can Zamp help us catch up?

Yes. A specialist reviews where you sell and where you may already owe. Then we agree a path with you, from filing past-due returns to a voluntary disclosure or registering going forward, and our team does the filing.

Keep Shopify at checkout. Hand us the rest.
