PaintCare fees on Shopify

Last updated: July 18, 2026 · Fee schedule per paintcare.org

PaintCare states add a stewardship fee to every container of architectural paint, tiered by container size. On Shopify, tag paint by container size, create one fixed per-product fee per tier with the amounts from PaintCare's current schedule, and limit them with customer state is one of your PaintCare states. Each container then carries its fee, itemized.

Fee amounts differ slightly by state and change over time, so take them from the current PaintCare fee schedule. If your amounts differ per state, duplicate the tier fees per state group; fees stack independently and only the matching one applies.

Not tax or legal advice. Verify the states you must collect in and the current amounts with PaintCare before publishing.
