What Quaderno adds after checkout

Shopify helps you sell. Quaderno helps you keep the tax records that come after each sale.

Once connected, Quaderno uses your Shopify order and refund data to generate invoices, credit notes, tax reports, and registration alerts automatically.

With Quaderno, you can:

  • Generate invoices from Shopify orders
  • Create credit notes from refunds
  • Prepare VAT, GST, and sales tax reports
  • Receive tax registration alerts
  • Manage B2C and B2B tax ID workflows
  • Centralize tax data from Shopify and other sales channels
  • Keep records ready for your accountant, finance team, or filing workflow

This gives your finance, operations, or accounting team a clearer view of what happened, where tax may be due, and which records are available for filing.

How the Shopify integration works

After you integrate Shopify, your store sends successful orders and refunds to Quaderno automatically.

Here is the basic flow:

  1. A customer places an order in Shopify.
  2. Shopify calculates the tax at checkout.
  3. Shopify sends the order or refund data to Quaderno.
  4. Quaderno generates the invoice or credit note.
  5. Your transaction data is reflected in Quaderno tax reports and alerts.

This setup helps you reduce manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and duplicate data entry.

Note: Shopify calculates the tax shown at checkout. Quaderno uses the tax and order data from Shopify to generate compliant invoices, credit notes, reports, and alerts.

What Shopify handles and what Quaderno handles

Shopify and Quaderno work together, but they do different jobs.

Shopify handles Quaderno handles
Checkout tax calculation Tax-compliant invoices
Storefront and checkout Credit notes for refunds
Order and payment flow VAT, GST, and sales tax reports
Product and customer data Tax registration alerts
Shopify tax settings B2C and B2B tax ID workflows
Fulfillment data Centralized tax records across platforms

To keep your records accurate, your Shopify tax settings should match the tax jurisdictions configured in Quaderno.

Built for cross-border Shopify sellers

Selling internationally can create tax obligations in more than one country, state, or province. Quaderno helps you track those obligations and keep your Shopify tax records ready for reporting.

This is especially useful if you sell to businesses or consumers across borders, across product types including:

  • Physical goods
  • Digital products
  • Online courses
  • Memberships
  • Software or subscriptions
  • Downloads or templates
  • Services with digital delivery

As your customer base grows, Quaderno helps you move from manual checks to a more consistent, efficient, and automated tax workflow.

Invoices and credit notes for Shopify orders

Quaderno can automatically generate invoices for each Shopify order or a corresponding credit note when you issue a refund.

Your invoices can include the tax information required for your customer, accountant, or tax authority, depending on your setup and the jurisdictions where you sell.

This helps you keep a reliable document trail without manually creating invoices after every Shopify sale.

Tax reports for filing

Quaderno turns your Shopify sales data into tax reports that help you prepare VAT, GST, and sales tax filings.

Say goodbye to exporting orders from Shopify and rebuilding tax totals by hand. Just use Quaderno reports to review sales, taxes collected, and the jurisdictions connected to your account.

For businesses selling internationally, this gives your team a clearer starting point for each filing period.

Tax registration alerts

When your Shopify sales grow in a new market, you may need to register for tax before you can collect and file there.

Quaderno monitors your sales thresholds and sends alerts when your business may be approaching new tax registration obligations. This helps you act earlier instead of discovering a requirement at filing time.

Support for B2C and B2B Shopify sales

If you sell to businesses, you may need to collect your customer's tax ID and show it on the invoice.

Quaderno can help you manage B2C and B2B tax data for Shopify orders and apply reverse-charge treatment where applicable. For Shopify Plus stores, Quaderno can also support tax ID validation during checkout.

This is useful for stores selling physical or digital products, online training, software, or other products to both individuals and companies.

Use Shopify with your other sales channels

Many businesses do not sell from one platform forever. You might use Shopify today, Stripe for subscriptions, WooCommerce for another store, or another platform.

Quaderno centralizes your tax data across connected platforms, so your reports are not split across multiple tools. That makes it easier to understand your total tax position and prepare for filing.

You can connect supported platforms directly through any of our native integrations, use Quaderno's API for a more custom setup or import data manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Shopify Tax and Quaderno's Tax Automation App?

Tax threshold notifications

With Shopify Tax, you can access their “Sales Tax Insights”, but you won't be notified automatically. This is also limited only to the US.

Whether you reach an economic nexus threshold in Michigan or a sales registration threshold in Mozambique, you'll know about it via our alert system.

Instant tax reports

Shopify unfortunately doesn't offer tax reports that include all the accurate information you need to file returns. You can download your tax reports at any time within your personal Quaderno dashboard.

Tax-compliant invoices

Quaderno automatically keeps track of your Shopify sales creating automatic tax invoices and reports to file your taxes. Shopify Tax’s limitation is they don’t provide you with tax receipt information which can be problematic with B2B customers.

Shopify says it handles tax for me. What would I actually need a tool like Quaderno for on top of that?

Shopify helps calculate tax at checkout, but Quaderno helps manage the tax records and compliance work that happen after the sale.

With Quaderno, you can automatically generate tax-compliant invoices, create credit notes for refunds, access VAT, GST, and sales tax reports, and receive alerts when your business may need to register in a new tax jurisdiction.

In short: Shopify helps charge the right tax at checkout. Quaderno helps you document, report, and manage that sales tax across your Shopify store and other sales channels.

If I run multiple stores on Shopify and other platforms, like WooCommerce, and Amazon FBA, can Quaderno help me?

Yes, the beauty of Quaderno is that once you're using it with Shopify, you can easily integrate it with your other channels — so that all of your tax information is in one place! Add as many integrations as you'd like at no extra cost.

And all of it can be delivered in an easy tax report, with the click of a button. Multichannel online selling has never been easier.

Does Quaderno support B2B transactions?

Yes. Need us to apply reverse charge for you? No problem. We detect and determine B2B transactions by your customer's tax ID.

If you're using Shopify Plus, we can collect and validate tax IDs to automatically apply reverse-charge for B2B sales in your Shopify store. We automatically add the “reverse charge” note on invoices to make them compliant, where applicable.

Quaderno can automatically verify the following tax ID types:

  • EU VAT Numbers
  • UK VAT numbers
  • Australian Business Numbers
  • New Zealand Business Numbers
  • Quebec QST Registration Numbers
  • Swiss UID Numbers
