Selling to Canadian shoppers on Shopify
Cross-border buying from US stores is normal, which means duties and a slower delivery are live concerns rather than edge cases. A store that says where it ships from, and what that means for the shopper, removes a doubt its competitors leave open.
How prices are shown
Tax-exclusive, and the rate depends on the province — GST, HST or GST plus PST.
Returns
Consumer protection is provincial rather than federal, so the store's published policy does most of the work.
Payment methods shoppers expect
Shop Pay · Apple Pay · Google Pay · PayPal · Card · Interac
Who delivers
Canada Post · Purolator · UPS · FedEx
What this changes about the checks
Every store gets the same list. These are the ones that carry more weight here than they would elsewhere.
- C1Shipping cost first appears at checkout
Here, provincial tax plus shipping plus possible duty makes checkout the moment of truth.
- P6No delivery date or shipping promise on product pages
Here, domestic versus cross-border changes delivery time enough that shoppers ask first.
- C6Trust signals absent at cart
Here, returns across a border are the objection a trust line has to answer.
