Smart categorization

Is a ? a sandwich? As a society, we may never be able to agree on the answer, but at Shopify, we can help you categorize your hotdog for tax purposes. Shopify helps you by suggesting the proper category for your products and then automatically applies the right tax rate based on local rules. Manual tax overrides will soon be a thing of the past.
