Who owns Avalara, and does that ownership affect its long-term support for Shopify integrations?
Vista Equity Partners owns Avalara, which it took private on 19 October 2022 at $93.50 a share (Vista's closing release, October 2026). Avalara's parent filed a confidential draft to go public in July 2025 (Avalara newsroom, October 2026). Avalara's Shopify integration kept shipping, so ownership hasn't slowed it: Shopify logged a sync change in December 2025 (Shopify Changelog, October 2026).
