Thanks for the advice, been looking at Paddle/FastSpring. If I may ask, did you start with tax collection on day one?

ya, the tax is calculated using taxjar's api on day one and it's reflected on the checkout page. (https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator/). But I'm unsure about tax filing, because I don't know about our accounting. (We are a startup).

If this is for my own side-hustle, I wouldn't want to deal with it. It's super complex. Each city has a different tax rate, and you need to file taxes to different states. Each state has a tax free allowance.

Got it, this helps. Been leaning towards Paddle/FastSpring etc.
BTW, I have never heard of FastSpring, is it the same as Paddle?
From the docs, both seem to be equivalent offerings, yet to dig to depth.
