Hi Reader,
Jess on our team put together an article on our site that shows what types of custom calculators can make your site a valuable resource for your customers.
Providing site visitors with a personalized user experience is key is a great way to smooth the patch to checkout. Custom calculators on your Shopify store can help customers quickly and accurately answer their specific questions or address their pain points.
By removing friction from the shopping process, you can significantly boost sales and improve overall customer satisfaction. They can also help with your search engine optimization (SEO), as people searching for these type of calculators may find your site with a Google search. Here, we'll showcase a few examples from our portfolio. These are custom calculators created by the Aeolidia team that have removed barriers to purchase.
Here are some custom calculators that we've developed for clothing brands, fabric shops and more!
Here's a reader question about sales tax, from Jala, as answered by Arianne, CEO & Founder on our team:
Q: I'm trying to understand how ecommerce tax works and make sure that I'm doing this correctly. Is the tax charged to the customer based on:
where they live?
where the recipient lives?
where the business is located?
Here's the scenario in question: I'm based in Oregon, but I have a warehouse in Texas. An Oregon customer placed an online order that is shipping to Austin, TX. She was charged Texas sales tax. Should that happen?
A: You are talking about "nexus." Generally, sales tax is based on the recipient's location, not where the customer or the business is located. But it depends on how much you sell in each state. You may be interested in using software like TaxJar to make sure they're compliant with each state's nexus laws.
