Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
We would like to request a feature that allows merchants to clearly separate and display tariffs as part of the product pricing and checkout process. Specifically:
Back-End Functionality:
Allow merchants to add a Tariff % per product that is calculated separately from the base product price.
Front-End Display:
Display the tariff as a distinct line item on product pages and during checkout- visible to customers. Example:
Product Price: $500
Tariff (Federal Import Tax): +$50
Total: $550
Reason for Request:
Major platforms like Amazon are reportedly exploring similar functionality. Tariffs are a form of federal tax on imported goods. With fluctuating trade policies, it’s increasingly important to be transparent with customers about how tariffs impact final product costs. Adding this feature would improve transparency, trust, and compliance in how international trade costs are presented to consumers.
We believe this would be an important and timely update to the Shopify platform.
Thank you for considering this request.
Hi,
Hope this will help
- At Adming Enable Tariff % for Each Product
- Calculate Tariff in Cart & Checkout
- Show Tariff Cost on Product Page
Example
{% assign tariff_percent = product.metafields.custom.tariff_percentage.value | default: 0 %}
{% assign product_price = product.price | divided_by: 100 %}
{% assign tariff_amount = product_price | times: tariff_percent | divided_by: 100 %}
<p><strong>Product Price:</strong> ${{ product_price }}</p>
<p><strong>Tariff (Federal Import Tax):</strong> +${{ tariff_amount | round: 2 }}</p>
<p><strong>Total:</strong> ${{ product_price | plus: tariff_amount | round: 2 }}</p>
- Show Tariff Breakdown in Cart
- For Checkout Display , are you using shopify plus?
Hi! Thank you for the recommendation. To make sure we implement into the right place - would this code go into the main-product.liquid file? Would it make sense to contact our template designer to have them implement this, I assume it's more complicated than just pasting the code in.
We're not on Plus yet - we have a very small team and we're on a legacy Grow plan.
