During onboarding, or as Zamp registers your business for sales tax in new states, you may need to adjust your tax collection settings in Shopify by enabling or disabling sales tax collection for specific states. If your state sales tax registration effective date is in the future, wait until that date to enable tax collection. Additionally, Zamp can assist by tracking Ship To–based sales by state and alerting you as you approach economic nexus thresholds.
