Setting default currency and tax settings
How currency and tax are handled in PO Flow.
Currency and tax in PO Flow
PO Flow uses your Shopify store's default currency for all purchase order values. There is no separate currency setting in PO Flow — it inherits from your Shopify configuration.
Currency
All values in PO Flow — unit costs, line totals, landed costs, PO totals — are displayed in your store's currency as set in Shopify. If you trade with suppliers in different currencies, enter the converted amount in your store's currency when creating POs.
Tax
PO Flow is designed for tracking the cost of purchased inventory, not for tax calculation. Purchase order line item costs should represent the ex-tax unit cost you pay the supplier. Tax and duties are tracked separately using the Landed Costs feature (Growth/Pro) where you can add a Customs or Duties landed cost line to a PO.
QuickBooks and currency
When syncing to QuickBooks Online, PO Flow sends the values as entered. Make sure your QuickBooks company currency matches your Shopify store currency for accurate accounting records.
