We have started using Shopify and are planning to have one-time pop-up stores in certain events across the US.
What is the best practice here considering different sales tax rates per state? The events are not typically happening at the same time.
Do we create a generic pop-up store or location in Shopify? Or do we have to create separate locations for each pop-up store?
We have Avalara for tax and Celigo for syncing the sales into NS.

How will you handle returns / warranty items from these pop ups that might arrive later?

I think it might make sense to create a couple of stores in Shopify and have one active at a time with the right zip code where the pop up it.
Use the other one to get “ready” for the next pop up (inventory etc). And just use that maybe to push the transactions into NS (Avalara will do the taxes right).
One other question comes up. How do you figure out sales tax that is owed - is that in Avslara or NS?

@Kman they phone our CSR and they ship it back to a nearby warehouse

Would we have separate Location records as well in NS?

I am a bit out of depth here. I would think you could do the location change in Shopify itself when you move the pop up store, and just push the transaction details to NetSuite since all taxes etc is done in Avalará.

Actually, I was wrong above. Multiple events can happen at the same within the same state and across different states.

So having one Shopify store for all of them won't work
