Adding Tariffs to Certain Vendors

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner with over 1,000 products is seeking a solution to apply tariffs selectively based on vendors, as some suppliers are charging tariffs while others are not.

Specific Requirements:

  • Apply percentage-based tariff fees (e.g., 20%) to orders from specific vendors
  • Automate the process to avoid manual, item-by-item updates
  • Calculate tariff based on order total for affected vendors only
  • Leave orders from non-tariff vendors unchanged

Suggested Solutions:
Two Shopify apps were recommended:

  1. Magical Fees & Tariffs
  2. UpCharge Fees Addons Surcharge

Both apps reportedly enable selective tariff application based on vendor criteria.

Status: The original poster is reviewing the recommended apps. A follow-up question about “streamlined options” was asked but remains unanswered, suggesting the discussion is ongoing.

With the uncertainty of tariffs, I am wondering if there is a way (app or other way) to add a tariff to specific vendors? Not all of my vendors are charging tariffs yet and for the ones that are I need to add this. I have well over 1000 products and item by item would be brutal. Ideally, it would be great if I could add a percentage to certain vendors maybe based on order total? If the customer orders products from vendor A who has no tariffs, the order goes through like normal. But if they order products from vendor B who is charging tariffs, I select them and the site charge a 20% tariff fee based on order total.

Unsure what to do.

Appreciate any feedback..
