Shopify Shipping in Canada: GST, Canada Post and Pickup

Rates before launch
Canada Post or your courier, test a real postal code outside the city.
Pickup
Many Calgary customers still prefer it. Put it in checkout, not in a FAQ.
Tax
GST is not optional. Get it right before the first order.

What we will not do
Guarantee Google positions. Stuff keywords into a business name. Build doorway pages for towns you do not serve. Hide ownership of the domain or the files.
Next step
Send the live URL (or the idea) and the job you want more of. We will recommend a fixed next step in CAD — or an honest no.

Only with a threshold you can afford. Otherwise you hide the real cost in product prices.
