Canadian tax setup done correctly, first time.

Canadian tax configuration on Shopify is among the most complex in the world: federal GST, HST in participating provinces, separate PST in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and QST in Quebec. Every province has different rules, and getting it wrong means either overcharging customers or underremitting tax. The underlying build work is the same service we run for every market: custom Shopify development for DTC brands, B2B wholesalers, and hybrid stores.

We configure Canadian provincial tax correctly as a standard part of every CA store build. We also configure tax-exempt purchasing for B2B buyers, zero-rated product categories, and cross-border US sales tax collection where applicable.

Shopify Experts Canada: FAQ

Do Tripster Developers work with Canadian Shopify merchants?

Yes. We work with Canadian merchants on Shopify and Shopify Plus. We are based in Auckland, NZ, which provides a useful async overlap with Canadian time zones. Tasks briefed at end of business in Toronto or Vancouver are completed and ready for review the next morning. For live project calls, we schedule around Canadian morning sessions without issue.

Can you configure Canadian taxes (HST, GST, PST) on a Shopify store?

Yes. Canadian tax configuration on Shopify covers federal GST (5%), HST in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, and separate PST/QST in BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec. Shopify handles this automatically by province once configured correctly, and we verify the setup is accurate before launch. We also configure tax exemptions for categories like zero-rated food and medical products where applicable.

Do you configure Shopify for Canadian B2B wholesale merchants?

Yes. Shopify Plus B2B (for larger merchants) and Miko B2B Wholesale Pricing (for standard Shopify) are both options for Canadian wholesale merchants. We configure wholesale customer portals, tiered pricing by customer group, net payment terms, and tax-exempt purchasing for registered Canadian B2B buyers.

How do I hire a Shopify developer in Canada?

Pick a certified Shopify development agency with published App Store apps, verified partner reviews, and fixed-price scoping. Canadian merchants hire Tripster Developers' Shopify developers directly: send your brief, receive a fixed-price CAD quote within 5 business days, and get overnight async delivery while your team is offline.

Who are the best Shopify experts in Canada?

The best Shopify experts for Canadian merchants combine certified partner status, real shipped work on Shopify and Shopify Plus, and correct Canadian tax setup (HST, GST, PST, QST) from day one. Tripster Developers is a certified Shopify Partner serving Canadian brands with direct developer access, published Shopify App Store apps, and fixed-price CAD quotes.

Do you work across Canadian time zones?

Yes. We schedule around your time zone whether you are in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary or Montreal, and we deliver on an agreed milestone plan rather than requiring live overlap for every conversation.

Can you handle CAD pricing and Canadian tax?

Yes. CAD as presentment currency, correct GST, HST and PST handling by province, and duty-inclusive pricing for cross-border sales into the US are all standard configuration on our Canadian builds.

Do you set up Canadian shipping carriers?

Yes. Canada Post, Purolator, UPS and FedEx with live rates or rate tables, zone-based pricing, and free-shipping thresholds. We also configure cross-border shipping into the US where that is part of your market.

Can you build a bilingual English and French store?

Yes. We build bilingual Shopify stores using Shopify Markets and translation apps, with proper hreflang so Google serves the right language version. This matters for Quebec compliance as well as for conversion.

Can you migrate a Canadian store from WooCommerce, Magento or BigCommerce?

Yes. We handle the full migration including products, variants, customers and historical orders, with a redirect map that preserves existing search rankings. Your current store stays live until cutover.

Do you build B2B and wholesale on Shopify?

Yes. We use Miko B2B Wholesale Pricing, our own Shopify app: customer-group pricing, volume tiers, net terms, purchase orders and a branded wholesale portal, with no Shopify Plus requirement.

Do I need Shopify Plus?

Usually not. Plus is worth it for checkout customisation, Shopify Functions, very high order volume or multi-store setups. Below that, standard Shopify plus the right apps does the same job for far less per month, and we will tell you when Plus is not justified.

How long does a Canadian Shopify build take?

A theme customisation is typically 3 to 5 weeks, a fully custom theme 8 to 12 weeks, and a migration 8 to 16 weeks depending on catalogue size and data quality. You get a dated milestone plan rather than an open-ended estimate.

Can you connect Shopify to our ERP or accounting system?

Yes. We build Shopify-to-Odoo and Shopify-to-ERP integrations with real-time inventory, order and customer sync, plus connections to QuickBooks and Xero where accounting lives outside the ERP.

Who owns the store and the code afterwards?

You do. The Shopify store is on your account, the theme code is yours, and any custom app is transferred to you. There is no licence fee to keep using what we built and no lock-in to us for support.

Do you do ongoing support after launch?

Optional, never required. You can take the store and run it, or keep us on a retainer for changes, performance work and platform updates. We do not require a retainer to have built the store.

Do you work with small Canadian businesses?

Yes. A focused theme customisation for a newer brand is a legitimate project and we quote it honestly. What we will not do is accept a budget that cannot deliver the scope being asked for.

How do we get started?

Tell us what you sell, what platform you are on now, and what is not working. We come back with a fixed-price CAD quote and a milestone plan. There is no charge for that conversation.
