Software solutions for your type of online marketplace

Physical goods marketplaces

Marketplaces selling physical goods have their own challenges in identifying taxability, calculating different tax rates, preparing and filing returns, and handling cross-border sales. Automated solutions can quickly and easily determine taxability, apply more accurate rates, and streamline international compliance.

Digital goods marketplaces

Marketplaces selling digital goods must also stay on top of taxability in different states in addition to managing business licenses, registrations, and other tax documents. Marketplace software can help with filing and managing W-9 and 1099 forms, identifying licenses, and e-invoicing for international transactions.

On-demand services marketplaces

On-demand services can be taxed differently from physical or digital goods. And it gets more complicated depending on which services you offer. Marketplace software identifies the licenses you need and determines when and where you should collect tax, how much, and what the rules are for your many different jurisdictions.

Social commerce marketplaces

Social marketplaces have their own compliance challenges. Who and what gets taxed, and by how much? When does communications tax get involved? Automated compliance software can help you streamline the returns process and navigate the tax complexities of your social marketplace.
