I believe @Shopify handles tax % for you in checkout. Definitely not great for SMBs getting audited.
Hard to explain how horrifying this decision is for small to medium businesses. It isn’t about the cost of sales tax - it’s that compliance is virtually impossible, even with an ERP like NetSuite and a herculean good-faith effort.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/21/us/politics/supreme-court-sales-taxes-internet-merchants.html …

Shopify will only help you collect it at checkout, but not pay it to each State. On top of that, you'd have to add ever State and territory to their current build. Hoping for a hail mary from them!

But it’s probably a boon for e-Commerce platforms that now have a new sales hook to lure those sellers, right?

In terms of helping with compliance? Maybe. But it's an extraordinarily hard problem to solve.

Shouldn't that also mean that tracking non-compliance will also be almost impossible? Asking for a friend...

It's not so much COLLECTING it, it's PAYING it. It's crazy the amount of time we spend to keep up with changes to and pay taxes to California (which figured out a clever way to force us to register (and thus pay tax): if you want to sell to the gov't you have to agree to it.

How about filing 45 zero returns every month, having to register and pay each state (what $ registration fee per year to pay the taxes). The collection, tracking of the taxes is doable. Dealing with 45 state governments is [almost] impossible for a small business.

I understand the brick and mortar argument, but there has to be a better way to solve this.
