Sales tax compliance is a critical yet complex challenge for e-commerce businesses, especially when selling across both marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, and non-marketplace platforms like Shopify or your own website.

For those selling on both marketplace and non-marketplace platforms, the complexity increases as some states combine both types of sales toward the threshold limit.
