Use Quaderno to simplify your tax processes and stay compliant, so you can focus on the work you love.
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:
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.
After you integrate Shopify, your store sends successful orders and refunds to Quaderno automatically.
Here is the basic flow:
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.
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.
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:
As your customer base grows, Quaderno helps you move from manual checks to a more consistent, efficient, and automated tax workflow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many businesses do not sell from one platform forever. You might use Shopify today, Stripe for subscriptions, WooCommerce for another store, or another platform.

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.
