Ecommerce news and updates

From Dec 14, 2024 to Feb 15, 2025, Shopify will automatically handle zero-rating for eligible products under Canada's GST/HST tax break. Just ensure your products are properly categorized.

In certain countries—including Brazil, China, and South Korea—customs officials require shipments to include customer Tax IDs. For orders to these countries fulfilled through Managed Markets, tax IDs collected at checkout will now be automatically added to commercial invoices.

Amazon announced its entry into the automotive market with Amazon Autos, a platform offering Hyundai vehicles to U.S. customers. Buyers in 48 cities can purchase new Hyundai cars directly from local participating dealers on Amazon.

Shopify has expanded Shop Campaigns to all merchants in the US and Canada, previously only available to Shopify Plus users. These campaigns target users within the Shop App, with merchants paying only for conversions—making it risk-free. Shop Campaigns drive traffic to products and storefronts in the Shop App, not directly to the merchant's store.

Tip of the week

Last-minute shoppers are out in full force! Here’s how to boost your sales before Christmas:

• Promote “arrives before Christmas” shipping options to draw in those last-minute buyers.

• Highlight bundles and best sellers to make gift-giving simple and stress-free.

• Use “guaranteed delivery” badges to build trust and drive quick conversions.

• Offer limited-time discounts or flash sales to create a sense of urgency.

• Amplify your promotions through email and social media for maximum reach.

Make the most of the final days of holiday rush — happy selling! 🎅
