Why the US-order rule matters for Canadians
Most Canadian Etsy sales cross the border to US buyers — and those orders get the cheaper 3% + C$0.25 rate. Only orders from outside Canada and the US pay 4%. That makes Canada one of the more favourable seller countries once your main market is the States. The calculator handles the split with its "international order" toggle.
