Background
Part of Shopify's path to $1 billion is winning the EMEA market. Introducing Shopify Tax in the EU and UK addresses top tax-related challenges for merchants in these regions.
A key benefit of Shopify Tax EU/UK is that merchants can generate and automatically send VAT invoices, ensuring tax compliance.
As the lead designer and project champion, I led the end-to-end design, research, and project management. We launched the feature to 100 Early Access merchants in August 2024 and officially launched in October 2024.
