GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a consumption tax applied to the sale of goods and services. It is collected by businesses on behalf of the government and is usually included in the price of products or added at checkout, depending on local tax rules.
In India, GST replaced many older indirect taxes and is structured into several components:
CGST (Central GST) – collected by the central government on intra-state sales.
SGST (State GST) – collected by the state government on intra-state sales.
UTGST (Union Territory GST) – used instead of SGST in Union Territories.
IGST (Integrated GST) – applied to inter-state sales and imports.
For example, if a product is sold within the same state, CGST and SGST are typically charged. If it is sold from one state to another, IGST is usually charged.
In Shopify, merchants selling in India can configure GST settings and their GST registration (GSTIN) so GST can be calculated on eligible orders.

Yes. Shopify provides GST support for India, allowing merchants to configure Goods and Services Tax (GST) settings for Indian sales. Merchants can enter their GSTIN (GST registration number) and set up CGST, SGST/UTGST, and IGST rates based on whether sales are intra-state or inter-state. Shopify also supports product-specific tax overrides for different GST slabs.
In practice, Shopify can help calculate GST at checkout and maintain tax records, but merchants are still responsible for GST registration, invoicing, filing GSTR returns, and overall compliance. For advanced Indian GST requirements such as e-invoicing, HSN code management, or automated GSTR reconciliation, many merchants use specialized GST apps from the Shopify App Store.

What is tax-exclusive pricing?
Tax-exclusive pricing means that the listed product price does not include tax. Taxes are calculated separately and added during checkout based on the applicable tax rules.

Tax-exclusive pricing means that the listed product price does not include tax. Taxes are calculated separately and added during checkout based on the applicable tax rules.
For example, if a product is listed at $100 and the applicable tax is 10%, the customer would typically see:
Product price: $100
Tax: $10
Total at checkout: $110
Tax-exclusive pricing is common in regions where sales tax is usually added at the point of purchase, such as many parts of the United States and Canada. In Shopify, merchants can choose whether prices are tax-exclusive or tax-inclusive depending on their business needs and local regulations.

Tax-inclusive pricing is used to show customers the total price they will pay, including tax, rather than adding tax separately at checkout.
Merchants use tax-inclusive pricing because it can:
Provide pricing transparency
Reduce surprises at checkout
Improve the customer experience
Match local pricing expectations in regions where tax-inclusive pricing is standard (such as many VAT-based countries)
Simplify displayed product prices
In Shopify, enabling tax-inclusive pricing means the listed product price already includes the applicable tax, and Shopify calculates the tax portion from that price during checkout.
