For beverage
Bottle deposits by state, for Shopify.
For beverage, kombucha and craft soda sellers shipping to the ten bottle-deposit states. Bottlebill works out the deposit each order should carry from each product's drink type, size and pack count, checks it against what the order actually charged, and marks it short, over, right or none due. Short orders lead the to-do list. It reports deposits charged and due by state and month, saved as a spreadsheet. The state table is a starting point you can confirm. Not legal advice.

Questions
The ones merchants actually ask
Which Shopify plans does it work on?
Works on every Shopify plan. Where a part needs Shopify Plus, the app says so on the screen rather than hiding it.
How am I billed?
$7 a month through Shopify's own app billing, on your normal Shopify bill. No card is taken here and there is no share of your sales.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
Shopify tells the app the moment you uninstall, and the app erases what it kept for your store. Customer data requests from Shopify are answered the same way. The full detail is on the app's own privacy page.
Is it on the Shopify App Store?
