What it does
Business buyers compare net prices, consumers expect prices with VAT. VAT Switcher adds a toggle that switches every price in your store: product pages, collections, search, quick view, the cart drawer and cart totals.
Your tax settings and Markets are read from Shopify, and VAT rates for every EU country are built in. Show net prices to tagged or Shopify B2B customers automatically, give books or food their own rate, and style the toggle in the theme editor.
Your products, prices and theme files are never changed. Checkout stays as it is: Shopify calculates the tax charged there.

Status and pricing
On the Shopify App Store
The app is published on the Shopify App Store. Install it from there, and every plan starts with a free trial.
Two plans that differ by features, not by usage. Starter covers the toggle on every page, all toggle styles, dual prices, labels in every EU language and net prices for tagged customers. Pro adds Multi-VAT rules, visitor-country VAT rates, Shopify B2B detection, the floating widget and visitor popup, and country rules for non-EU visitors.
If you downgrade or cancel, your settings are kept. Features outside your plan pause until you upgrade again.
Billing goes through Shopify and appears on your Shopify bill. Plans and prices are shown on the app’s Shopify App Store listing.
Your data, your control
The app publishes its settings as app data that the theme extension reads. Product prices in Shopify and the tax charged at checkout stay the same.
The storefront script makes no requests to our servers, so the toggle keeps working even if they are down. When you uninstall, Shopify removes the app embed, and your store’s data in the app is deleted after 48 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Which prices are switched?
All prices on the storefront: product pages, collection and search grids, quick view, predictive search, the cart drawer and cart page, line totals, the subtotal and the total, including prices that appear later. Checkout is not changed.
Do I have to tell the app whether my prices include VAT?
No. The app reads it from your Shopify tax settings and Markets, and the dashboard shows what was detected. You can override it if you need to.
Where do the VAT rates come from?
The app includes standard and reduced VAT and GST rates for 48 countries, including every EU country, each with its sources. We update the table when rates change, and you can override any rate.
Can business customers see prices excl. VAT automatically?
Yes. Logged-in customers with tags you choose can see prices excl. VAT by default. On Pro, Shopify B2B company customers are detected automatically.
Does it work with my theme?
It works with Online Store 2.0 themes. It finds prices on the page itself, using your theme’s own money format, instead of relying on theme-specific code.
Does the app slow down my store?
The storefront script is small, has no dependencies, loads asynchronously and reads its settings from your store, so it makes no requests to our servers.
