How complete is Stripe's tax product? Typically I've seen ecommerce apps use something like Avalara for this.

Stripe’s tax features have worked well for our use cases so far, and we also have experience with Avalara from previous projects. Would you be open to connecting over a video call to discuss your specific needs? I think it might be easier that way as it's a broad topic :)

I don't have a need at the moment just curious. It looks like Stripe Tax doesn't support all US states. Will probably be a good product when it's out of beta!

Ah yeah, the rules get messy.

Is the local tax on just the product, the product + shipping, or product + shipping + handling (now you know why these are sometimes broken out)??

New York and California do it differently. And then all the way down to local municipalities. And tax holidays! So many cases to track.
