⚠️ Important
The current Tax Breakdown in Shopify Checkout extension will be deprecated on 31 December 2025.
Overview
Swap Global offers two checkout extensions for Shopify Plus that make duties, taxes, and shipping costs fully transparent to customers:
Order Summary Breakdown – displays a clear breakdown of duties, taxes, and fees in the order summary, with optional reassurance messaging.
Shipping Line Breakdown – shows duties, taxes, and fees directly beneath each shipping option.
Together, these extensions reassure customers that there are no surprise charges on delivery, reducing cart abandonment and improving checkout trust.
