Hi @Roberta82 I did this on my site by using the Edit Languages option and replaced Taxes with GST.

A simple way you can do this is by -

  1. In your Shopify Admin, click on Online Store > Themes

  2. In the Current Theme section, click on Actions > Edit Languages.

  4. You will then be presented with all the areas of your store that will have the word “Taxes” , so you can then go through and edit these to GST.

Let me know if you have any issues getting here!

I also want to see what areas I can provide advice in - have you launched your store yet?
Do you have any marketing strategies in place for the year?

Thanks for this Nia!

I followed all these instructions and it doesn’t change when I do a test checkout, do you know any other troubleshooting I could try?
