I’m just starting out selling apparel that weights 0.4-0.8kg per pkg already labelled. I’m looking to ship <10 and maybe even 1-100 orders weekly from NY. The entire shipment arrives from overseas so this part is handled. Any recs on domestic shipping services? Who gives the best rates but also will have good CX. I went through few messages and Reddit and quite a few recs for shipstation and stamps. Would this be the way to go?

Shipstation or just buying them through Shopify is your answer.

I’m actually just hand rolling my own site because I don’t have many skus. But this is helpful! Ty! As a follow up how do I collect sales tax real time? Are there APIs for that?

Numeral for sales tax

Do I use this day 1 or wait till a certain # of sales?

Jake Rader February 25, 2024 at 01:15 AM

You only pay when you file I think, so if you think it makes it easier to file I’d do day 1

Shipstation the cheapest plan or Pirateship (without shopify integration).

ty!

You gotta future proof and get on Shopify!

Yeah I can’t seem to find much value for a crypto native store. I use coinbase commerce for payments and a custom editor for item selection. Curious where the value lies?

We have an API for sales tax at Zamp.com if helpful - happy to answer any questions too

@Arti Villa We have tiers for the amount of states you have a requirement in. Happy to jump on a call to discuss your requirements further.

Sounds. Let me start making sales and when I'm in the market to integrate this will follow up on this thread.
