Is this a buying ID? You have no listings and no selling FB.

 

If you have a B&M business and are planning to expand into online selling, you add your online sales to your B&M sales.

Don't forget the tax credits you get on your export sales!

 

If you are not registered to collect sales taxes (GST/PST/HST/QST) don't even think about it until you pass that $30K level.

Revenue Canada gets annoyed with businesses that collect taxes without remitting them.

 

If you do expand into online selling, worry about shipping first.

Shipping is waaaay harder than taxes.

And if you have not already, sign up with Canada Post for a Small Business Solutions discount postage card.

You can print off shipping labels through either SnapShip or Shippo and get those discounts.

 

There are also several freight forwarders who will ship for you through USPS. It's not convenient for me, but chitchat express is the name that many sellers mention.
