How to handle taxes while shipping to USA and EU from India using print on demand?

I'm planning to launch customized tshirt selling on USA and EU from India via Print on demand partners in USA and EU. I'll collect payment from users via website and place order on Print on demand websites, so how should I pay local taxes in buyer's country?

Store suspended

Guys I feel like the sky is falling. I have been operating my store in Shopify for years. I only buy from authorised distributors and they just suspended the store. No real path forward just we are suspending it. Fill out this form and hope for the best I guess. Any advise helps!

Complete beginner based in HK looking to start a Shopify store—which target market and niche should I start with?

Hi everyone,
I'm completely new to the world of e-commerce and Shopify, and I'm currently based in Hong Kong.

I’m eager to learn the ropes of building an online store, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the choices when it comes to choosing a target country and a product niche😆

Given my location in HK, I have good access to supply chains (like mainland China suppliers, Taobao, 1688, etc.), but I'm not sure if I should target the US, Europe, local HK/Asia markets, or somewhere else for my first store😢

As a beginner with a limited budget, I would love to get some advice:

  1. Which country/market is the most friendly or realistic for a beginner starting out from Hong Kong?

  2. What kind of product niches are better for a first-timer? (Should I avoid electronics/clothing due to high returns/shipping issues?)

  3. Any major pitfalls I should watch out for regarding logistics, payment gateways, or ad costs?

Any tips, resource recommendations, or "lessons learned" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!🫶🏻🥳💭✨

What helped you get consistent sales as a startup?

Hi all, I'm running a small online startup brand in strapless lingerie for about 6 months now. Sales are very inconsistent and I find it hard to attract customers in a profitable way (without burning through cash in META or GOOGLE ads). I wanted to hear from you what you did that got you consistent sales when starting brand.

Question about Shopify inventory management. Does the inventory webhook automatically trigger for bundles, or do I need to use a separate API write?

I'm selling bundles and I'm trying to make Shopify Flow watch if any items within that bundle go out of stock so the bundle can be updated accordingly. My setup atm is that the bundles are separate products and the availability is based on component stock levels. The Flow trigger does its job, but the inventory write itself has a lag of maybe 15 or so minutes or up to an hour. Sometimes it doesn't fire at all. What's a good way to diagnose?

Shopify Tips

Hello,

I have been working in a ecommerce small business, with our store hosted by Shopify, for years now. We sell products/goods and have a few services for customizations with these products. My boss has the option for customers on our store to add a tip at checkout. However, despite the fact that some customers let us know that the tips are for our hard working employees, my boss will not give us any of the tips claiming they are for the business operations, not us. This seems very illegal given tip laws in the United States where we are located. I cannot find anything concrete about if this is something that is allowed because it is an ecommerce store online and US tip laws wouldn't apply then. Shopify does not have anything I can find regarding who gets to have these tips that have been collected.

Does anyone have any feedback, proof of what is actually the legal process for tips on Shopify, and/or general advice on the situation? It's frustrating knowing that customers think the money is going to the employees but it is defintely not. Plus, it feels unfair that he refuses to share the tips with us in general given all our hard work over the years.

I'm trying to get rid of the local delivery option for our shop. It says local delivery is on, but when I toggle through to the Location Status the button isn't switched on.

Additional delivery methods (says "ON") ->Your locations (says "Offers Delivery") -> Location status (button not switched "ON")

Integrate Mirakl to Shopify

So my company has recently started working with a US beauty retailer who use Mirakl as their ordering platform. We use shopify and the two arent currently cohesively working together. The ops team has to manually review Mirakl orders and raise them in Shopify.

Mirakl tells me I can integrate it into Shopify but I dont want my shopify platform to be Mirakl owned. Is there a way to seamlessly raise Mirakl orders into my Shopify DTC?
