E-commerceTax Preparation & Strategy3MediumOwner$ implied
Shopify store is flagged for sales tax nexus because customer tax exemptions were stored in a separate CRM rather than being tied into the Shopify platform, creating confusion about compliance obligations.
Shopify's built-in tax settings don't easily integrate with externally stored reseller certificates, forcing manual configuration and risking non-compliance.
