The Shopify Community is full of merchants struggling with VAT. While Shopify is a powerhouse for international sales, IOSS is one of the few features it cannot provide natively. Setting up tax regions, overrides, and inclusive/exclusive pricing can be a nightmare for sellers to master.
What is IOSS & How Does it Relate to Shopify?
The Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) is a simplified VAT collection solution for goods delivered from outside the EU to EU customers. It facilitates a “single-action” purchase where VAT is paid at checkout, allowing for faster “Green Lane” customs clearance.
IOSS Essentials for Shopify (2026):
- Orders under 150€: VAT is collected at the point of sale via Shopify Checkout.
- No surprise fees: Eliminates the high customs clearance fees carriers charge at the door.
- Mandatory Intermediary: Non-EU companies must appoint a representative like EAS.
- One Report: File a single monthly return for all 27 EU member states.
