Vertex Partners with Shopify to Streamline Global Tax Compliance

Vertex becomes the first Shopify Tax Platform Partner to integrate directly into Shopify and automate global indirect tax calculation for enterprise companies.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vertex, Inc. (NASDAQ:VERX) (“Vertex” or the “Company”), a global provider of tax technology solutions, announced today its partnership with Shopify Inc. (NYSE, TSX: SHOP), a provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce.

This partnership will enable enterprise merchants using the Shopify Tax Platform for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sales to automate tax calculation and compliance on a global scale. The SaaS-based solution removes barriers to commerce growth and accelerates the transaction process by eliminating the need to manually update complex rates and rules for over 195 countries, including seller's use tax, goods and services tax and value added tax.
