How it sells itself

The EXEMPTAX app is designed to streamline and automate tax exemption certificate management process for your wholesale and other tax-exempt customers. We help small and enterprise businesses become and stay sales tax compliant, so that you can spend less time on manual and tedious compliance tasks. Reduce your compliance risk and manage your exemption certificates from collection to audit in minutes.

Collect US resale certificates, review requests and track Shopify tax updates. Customers verify their store sign-in, upload evidence and check status. Choose manual or automatic decisions, track expiry and send updates. Optional nonprofit/government approval uses a customer-wide Shopify tax setting. Automatic acceptance follows your policy; it does not verify authenticity or legal eligibility.

Key points
  • Enable customers to upload and generate exemption certificates in their account
  • Automatically update the taxability status for your tax-exempt customers
  • Handle recurring renewals for customers with expiring and expired certificates
  • Improve customer experience through an integrated exemption management process
  • Collect private certificates with a storefront hub and theme app extension.
  • Choose manual, instant or rule-based decisions for resale certificates.
  • Track Shopify tax updates, expiry, renewals and decision history.
