In Quebec and across Canada, Shopify is the leading platform serving the growing group of online Quebec merchants. Independent and e-commerce Quebec-based merchants are gaining popularity for their unique products. Web directories, such as Panier Bleu and Not Amazon are gaining attention as shoppers seek innovative local options.
Sellers exporting to the UK should note that e-commerce platforms such as Ebay and Shopify are now responsible for collecting VAT directly from American and Canadian sellers. The new arrangement applies Value add Tax for all "B2C" online orders from North America to the UK. Sellers must register and collect UK VAT for orders* with a value up to £135. The value of £135 covers only the value of the goods (i.e. transaction value) and excludes shipping costs.
Shopify is emerging as the leading non-Amazon platform for e-commerce, omni-channel merchants. As Shopify merchants seek to grow their international orders, they need alternative international parcel shipping solutions. Shippers are looking to keep control of their data and develop "self-fulfillment" via innovative processes.
