Account Stopped - Tax Settings

Service will automatically stop when Mortar detects that a US store’s Shopify tax settings are tax-inclusive.

Overview

Note: US accounts require taxes to be configured as tax-exclusive in Shopify

To ensure accurate tax calculations and reporting, Mortar automatically stops service when a US store’s Shopify tax settings are set to tax-inclusive pricing. Mortar does not check your POS tax setting. Outside the US, Mortar automatically follows Shopify’s tax settings, and service does not stop.

If you receive a notice that your service has been stopped because a US store's Shopify tax setting is set to tax-inclusive, restore service by updating your tax settings in Shopify and then selecting "Activate" in Mortar.

Restoring Service

Step-by-step

  1. In Shopify, go to Settings > Taxes and duties.
    ​

  2. Scroll down to Additional configuration.

  3. Make sure Include sales tax in product price and shipping rate is turned off.

    • Off = Tax exclusive, taxes are charged separately from the price

    • On = Tax inclusive, taxes are included within the price
      ​

  4. Open Mortar and select “Activate” in the top-right corner.
