Shopify, for the UK

Set up your UK store properly.

Cleared for launch — VAT, payments and postage included.

Shopify guides for UK merchants: VAT registration, UK payment methods, Royal Mail and courier shipping, and pricing in pounds.

Tax notes sourced from HMRC Prices in £, dated

What you will find here

The parts US tutorials skip are the parts that decide whether a UK store runs smoothly. Each guide cites Shopify's own documentation with the date it was checked — and HMRC for anything tax-shaped.

Store setup

From empty account to first product: every step named the way the Shopify admin actually names it.

VAT & registration

What the obligations are, when registration becomes relevant, and where HMRC states the figures — orientation, never tax advice.

Payments

Shopify Payments in the UK, cards, wallets and the per-order fees — laid out in pounds, with sources.

Delivery

Royal Mail, Evri and the courier options small stores actually use, plus returns done properly.

Themes & apps

Judged with their monthly fees added up — £9 apps stack faster than stores grow.

The full bill

Subscription, transaction fees, apps, theme and postage in one honest sum. No revenue promises, ever.
