We are trying to see if there is a way to have Shopify automatically place all products in a specific category (live animals) as a default and to automatically not charge tax. Is there any way to do this?
Topic summary
Request for an automated setup in Shopify to streamline product handling. The poster wants two defaults: 1) automatically assign all relevant products to a specific category (“live animals”), and 2) automatically disable tax charging for those products. The aim is to avoid manual categorization and tax setting on each item, ideally applying to current and future products that fit this category. The question specifically asks whether Shopify provides a built-in way or configuration to accomplish both tasks by default. No responses, workarounds, or confirmations are provided yet, and there are no decisions or outcomes. Status: unresolved and awaiting guidance on feasible methods or settings.
