- Short answer
- No — Total sales includes tax; aggregate turnover excludes GST but counts exempt, export and every sale under your PAN, not one store.
- Where this store's numbers are
- Total sales breakdown includes values such as this store's gross sales, net sales, discounts and taxes.
- Net sales is not it either
- Net sales leaves tax out but still counts one store, not everything under your PAN.
- Shopify Plus Organization overview
- Spans your stores; no Shopify page we read on September 15, 2026 shows sales outside Shopify under your PAN added.
- Exempt-only sellers
- Supplying exclusively goods or services not liable to tax or wholly exempt means no liability to registration (section 23).
Total sales counts the tax that aggregate turnover excludes
Shopify's sales report defines Total sales as gross sales - discounts - sales reversals + taxes + duties + shipping charges + fees. Whether GST applies to those shipping charges is a separate question.
Section 22 of the CGST Act measures its registration threshold in aggregate turnover. Section 2(6) defines it; its closing words take tax out:
"aggregate turnover" means the aggregate value of all taxable supplies (excluding the value of inward supplies on which tax is payable by a person on reverse charge basis), exempt supplies, exports of goods or services or both and inter-State supplies of persons having the same Permanent Account Number, to be computed on all India basis but excludes central tax, State tax, Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess
Those are the taxes Total sales counts in. Net sales leaves tax out, but it still counts one store.
What aggregate turnover adds beyond your Shopify store
The definition counts “all taxable supplies”, exempt supplies and exports, is “computed on all India basis”, and names inter-State supplies of “persons having the same Permanent Account Number”. Supplies you make outside this store under that PAN belong in the figure too.
On Shopify Plus, Organization overview reports Total sales across all your stores. No Shopify report, analytics or India GST page we read on September 15, 2026 shows sales made outside Shopify under your PAN added.
For this store, the Total sales breakdown includes values such as gross sales, net sales, discounts and taxes; add every other supply under your PAN from your own records.
The same figure, not a Shopify report, is what the GST e-invoicing test and the composition scheme limit read.
When the turnover figure does not decide registration
Exempt supplies count, yet under section 23 a person supplying exclusively goods or services not liable to tax or wholly exempt is not liable to registration.
For the reverse case, see who registers in India regardless of turnover.
Whether your own Shopify store falls under section 52 TCS is a separate question: Does Shopify collect TCS under section 52 on sales through your own Indian store?
