Vela provides tools for managing pricing, taxes, and tariffs across your connected Etsy and Shopify shops. While currency display and tax settings can be adjusted within your shop platforms, some limitations exist when managing them directly in Vela.
Currency Management in Vela
Currently, Vela only displays prices in USD ($) because it is based in the United States. However:
If your shop operates in a different currency, your product prices will not be converted into USD within your store—only within Vela’s interface.
You must manually enter your prices in USD while using Vela.
Support for additional currency symbols is planned for a future update.
Important: Your prices in Etsy or Shopify will remain in your shop's currency, and Vela will not affect your store's actual pricing structure.
Tax Management in Vela
For Shopify sellers, you can adjust the "Charge Taxes" option for individual listings directly in Vela. However:
This option cannot be edited in bulk at this time.
If you need to change tax settings for multiple products, you must edit each listing individually within Vela.
Shopify’s tax rules still apply, and taxes will be handled based on your Shopify shop’s settings.
💡 Shopify Users: If you need bulk tax updates, consider adjusting your settings directly in Shopify.
Tariff Number Management in Vela
At this time, tariff numbers cannot be updated in Vela.
If your Shopify or Etsy listings require tariff codes (HS codes), you will need to manage these directly within your shop settings.
Vela does not currently provide a way to add, edit, or remove tariff numbers from your product listings.
