Pro Tips
💡 Tip: Use Shopify Markets to sell across the EU with automatic currency conversion and localized pricing. This feature simplifies cross-border selling without requiring separate stores for each country.
💡 Tip: Register for EU VAT OSS (One Stop Shop) to report all EU VAT through a single registration. This is mandatory if you sell over €10,000 to EU consumers. Shopify Tax can automate VAT calculations at checkout.
💡 Tip: Accept local payment methods popular in Europe — Klarna, iDEAL, Bancontact, and SEPA direct debit. These can increase conversion rates by 15-25% for European customers who prefer not to use credit cards.
