TaxCert Automation Shopify App

Stop reviewing tax certificates by hand

Your B2B customers send certificates by email. You open them one by one, squint at handwritten forms, manually check fields, toggle tax exemptions in Shopify, and hope you remember when they expire. TaxCert automates all of it.

The Problem

Tax certificate management is a time sink

If you sell B2B on Shopify, you already know the pain.

Tax certificate management frustrations
Features

Every manual step, automated

From upload to approval to expiration — TaxCert handles the entire certificate lifecycle without you touching Shopify admin.

AI-Powered Certificate Verification

Customers type in their details, upload their certificate, and AI verifies that the document matches what they entered — with per-field confidence scores so you know what's accurate and what needs a second look.

Automatic Approval

Certificates that meet your confidence threshold are approved instantly — tax exemption applied to the customer's Shopify account without you touching anything. Handle 80-90% of submissions automatically.

Intelligent Flagging

Missing signatures, expired dates, wrong form types, poor scan quality, illegible text — AI catches the problems before you waste time reviewing a bad certificate manually.

Branded Customer Portal

Give your customers a clean, professional upload portal with your logo, brand colors, and custom messaging. They upload their certificate, you get it processed — no email chains, no lost attachments.

Expiration Tracking & Reminders

Certificates expire and you forget to follow up. TaxCert sends automated reminders at 60 days, 30 days, and on expiration — then automatically removes the tax exemption. No manual tracking needed.

All 50 States + DC

Resale, government, nonprofit, agricultural, manufacturing — every certificate type across every state. Stop Googling which forms are valid where.

Direct Shopify Integration

Approved certificates automatically apply tax exemptions to the customer's Shopify account. Expired certificates automatically remove them. No manual toggling in Shopify admin.

Automated Email Notifications

Approval confirmations, rejection reasons, expiration reminders — all sent automatically with customizable templates. Stop writing the same emails over and over.

Dashboard & Reporting

See all certificates at a glance — filter by status, state, customer. View breakdowns by state and certificate type. Full audit trail for compliance.

Cross-Validation

AI doesn't just extract data — it cross-validates extracted information against what the customer provided. Catches mismatches and inconsistencies automatically.

Multi-Format Support

PDF, JPG, PNG — up to 10MB. Multi-page PDFs handled automatically. Your customers don't need to convert anything. Just upload and go.

Secure & Compliant

AWS S3 encrypted storage, Shopify API authentication, GDPR-compliant data deletion, full audit trail. Your customers' documents are protected.

How It Works

From upload to tax-exempt in minutes

No manual review. No email chains. No spreadsheets. Just certificates processed and exemptions applied.

1

Customer Uploads Certificate

Your customer visits your branded portal, fills out their business info, and uploads their tax exemption certificate. PDF, JPG, or PNG — no conversion needed.

2

AI Verifies the Document

Your customer types in their details — business name, state, tax ID, certificate type, expiration date. AI then verifies that the uploaded document matches what they entered and flags any discrepancies.

3

Auto-Approve or Flag for Review

High-confidence certificates are approved instantly and tax exemption is applied to the Shopify account. Low-confidence submissions are flagged for your review in the dashboard.

4

Track, Remind, Renew

Automated reminders go out before certificates expire. When they do expire, tax exemption is automatically removed. No spreadsheets, no calendar reminders, no missed expirations.

Coverage

Every state. Every certificate type.

States

All 50 US states + Washington DC

Multi-state businesses handled automatically. Each certificate tracks its applicable state.
