Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStop guessing your VAT liability on shipping. Get precise, weight-based tax breakdowns in seconds. If you sell mixed-rate products to the EU, calculating the VAT due on your shipping income is a nightmare. Tax authorities require you to split the shipping VAT proportionally based on the value or weight of the goods in the box. Doing this manually for hundreds of orders is impossible.
Every EU order becomes a clean VAT record. We compare the VAT your store collected against the official rate for the buyer's country and flag any mismatch before you file. B2B VAT numbers are checked against the EU VIES registry, and valid cross-border B2B sales are marked reverse charge, with the required note on the invoice.
