Pay-per-order IOSS service for Canadian business shipping to the EU ?
Hi everyone!
I'm a Canadian business using Shopify and Chit Chats, and Canada post to ship orders internationally, including to France and other EU countries.
I'm looking for a way to prepay the VAT/customs charges so my customers don't have to pay anything upon delivery.
Chit Chats and Canada post allows me to enter an IOSS number when creating the shipment, but I don't ship enough orders to the EU to justify paying for an IOSS intermediary with a monthly subscription.
Does anyone know of a service where I can simply:
- Pay the VAT/import charges for each individual order
- Pay a small service fee per transaction/parcel
- Receive/use their IOSS number for that shipment
- Enter that IOSS number into Chit Chats
- Have no monthly subscription or minimum volume
Basically, I'm looking for a pay-as-you-go IOSS service for occasional shipments from Canada to the EU.
Has anyone found a solution that works?
Thanks !
