shopify-tax-compliance — Claude Code skill for Shopify taxes
A skill that walks your AI assistant through Shopify tax work: sales tax, VAT, duty collection, tax-exempt customers and reporting.
npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill shopify-tax-compliance -a claude-codeWhat shopify-tax-compliance does
The skill gives your assistant a structure for reviewing the tax side of a Shopify store. It looks at the current setup, spots gaps and returns recommendations drawn from common seller practice. Then it lays out an implementation plan matched to your business stage.
You get a current-state assessment, a priority list running from quick wins to long-term work, a cost comparison of tools and apps, a timeline, and KPIs to track. All of it is text — there is no direct Shopify API integration. The skill is marked beta, so treat the output as a starting point and check it against your own store data; general practice does not always match a specific jurisdiction or catalog structure.
One command installs it. It runs in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
What it helps with
- work out which taxes and duties to collect
- compare tax apps by cost
- build a step-by-step rollout plan for tax settings
- check how tax-exempt customers are handled
- pick KPIs to monitor tax compliance
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me sort out taxes for my Shopify store
- What practices should I follow for VAT and duty collection?
- Audit my tax setup and suggest improvements
