Hello folks.
I have a client scenario where all products incur HST at check out. However, if certain products are purchased at or above a government defined minimum volume, HST is not chargeable on that item. I cannot figure out how to do that in the client’s online store.
Any ideas will be appreciated
Thank you

There may be existing apps that can handle this for you, but you could also look into using Shopify Functions to check if the product quantity meets the minimum volume requirement. If it does, you’d create logic to adjust the tax calculation to exempt HST for that product.
To store the minimum volume requirement for each product, you could set a product metafield definition that uses a number_integer type.
Once the metafields are set, your Shopify Function can query these metafields during checkout to determine whether the product qualifies for HST exemption based on the quantity in the cart.
Thank you kindly Liam. This is a problem for my client, but not so large a problem as to fund custom development, that I am not qualified to deliver at this time. I sincerely appreciate your guidance on this topic.
