Who owns Avalara, and does that ownership affect its long-term support for Shopify integrations?
Vista Equity Partners owns Avalara, having taken it private in October 2022 for $8.4 billion. Avalara's parent confidentially filed a draft Form S-1 with the SEC in July 2025 for a return to public markets (per Avalara newsroom, September 2026). The Shopify integration has kept shipping through that window, most recently in a December 2025 changelog (as of September 2026).
