Do I charge Delaware sales tax on Shopify orders in 2026?

No. Delaware has no general state or local sales tax in 2026, so you do not enable DE tax collection in Shopify, and no threshold applies to your Delaware-destination orders. You still owe sales tax in states that do impose one, so test each destination state against its own threshold rather than against Delaware's.

Is Shopify a marketplace facilitator in Delaware?

The question does not arise in Delaware, because there is no general sales tax for any party to collect. Note that Shopify's core storefront is not a marketplace facilitator anywhere — you are the seller of record in every state where you do owe tax.

Should I still enable DE in my Shopify tax settings?

No. Enabling DE would make Shopify charge your Delaware buyers tax that Delaware does not impose, which you would then be holding without a return to remit it on. Leave it off.

Does a Delaware warehouse create Shopify sales tax duties?

Not in Delaware itself — there is no DE sales tax to collect, so inventory stored there triggers no Delaware registration. Inventory in other states is a different matter and commonly creates physical nexus there.
