Canteen Works Globally
Canteen supports deposit and environmental fee systems around the world, including CRV, Pfand, Statiegeld, Consigne, Pant, and more.
Setting Up Fees for Your Region
Regardless of where you are, the setup process is the same:
Create collections in Shopify for each fee tier (e.g., "Small Bottles", "Large Bottles", "Kegs")
In Canteen, create a rule for each collection with the appropriate fee amount for your region
Use automated collections so new products are automatically included
Tips for International Merchants
Multiple fee tiers: If your region has different deposit amounts for different container sizes, create a separate collection and rule for each tier
Multi-packs: For products sold as multi-packs (e.g., 6-packs, 24-packs), set the fee to account for the pack size
Currency: Canteen uses your store's currency — set fee amounts in your local currency
Automated collections: Use these whenever possible so new products automatically get the correct fee
Your Responsibilities
Deposit and environmental fee regulations vary by country, state, and province. It's your responsibility as a merchant to:
Determine the correct fee amounts for your jurisdiction
Understand which products require deposits or fees
Stay current with any regulatory changes
Consult with a legal or tax professional if you're unsure
Canteen gives you the tools to charge any fee amount on any product — the specific rates and rules are up to you. 💚
