All things Shopify and commerce
Hi,
My store has over 21.000 products from dropshipping and I need to set ALL products to be 0% TAX. Because I'm already paying taxes to my dropshipper from another EU country, I shouldn't charge tax when I make sales (double taxation).
Now the hard part is, the only way I see to edit ALL the products is from bulk edit, which only displays 50 products, then I need to deselect all of them, save and wait for the update.
This is frustrating because it's not very user friendly.
Plus, when my dropshipper adds new products it automatically syncs through APP, and all new products are synced with "Charge tax on this product" selected by default.
How can I overwrite ALL products to NOT "Charge tax on this product"?
Hi @Azhpo
I can appreciate that trying to change whether or not your products charge taxes on such a large catalogue can be difficult. Generally, when making large changes to a catalogue it is recommended to do so through a CSV file. It is important to note that your vendor may not support product syncing when importing data from a CSV. If you can confirm that they do, then I would recommend exporting your catalogue to CSV and changing the column "Variant Taxable" to FALSE. From there, you can reimport the CSV, override the existing products and all the products already in your catalogue will now no longer charge taxes.
Alternatively, if you do not need to charge taxes on any of your products, the simplest method would most likely be to just set your tax rates to 0% in your store admin under Settings > Taxes. This way there are no taxes to be charged, even if the product charges taxes at the checkout. You can learn more about that here: General Tax Set-Up.
You can also use this option to override a specific catalogue of products, if you do have some that still require taxes. Basically telling the checkout that your store doesn't charge taxes on a specific group of items. You can learn more about that here: Tax Overrides.
Thanks!
