01 Multi-point tax handling
SellStack's native tax engine handles the 9% wholesale excise at distribution and the 9% state plus 4% local excise at retail out of the box, calculated at configuration.
New York moved its entire market onto Metrc with credentialing and inventory deadlines through early 2026, then became the first state to codify inversion as a crime, with fines up to $10,000 a day and chain-of-custody scrutiny on every package. Enforcement is climbing, not easing. Operators stitching separate tools together are exposed every time something moves.
SellStack handles seven New York realities as one ledger. The rules can keep tightening. Your chain of custody does not have to break.
New York is not a settled market. It migrated to a new state track-and-trace system, passed a first-in-the-nation anti-inversion law, repealed its potency tax, and is running an enforcement surge, all at once. Four of the moving parts carry the most operational weight.
One ledger, not separate tools stitched together. Each links to the detail on the next page.

New York separates the supply tier from the retail tier. SellStack runs multi-entity operations from one ledger and keeps the tier and True-Party-of-Interest lines explicit in the record.
New York migrated to Metrc and then made inversion a crime. SellStack reconciles Metrc from a lot-aware ledger, so every package carries the chain-of-custody record the state now demands.
New York permits dispensary and standalone delivery, capped at 25 delivery staff per week per license. SellStack owns the order and integrates with your delivery platform.
Every inventory, sales, and test record carries the lot identifier from receipt through sale, so the lot genealogy is the ledger. Metrc reconciliation and GMP both fall out of it.
SellStack Cannabis ERP-Commerce backs onto your ERP or warehouse platform. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cannabis on Business Central is fully supported, so financials, inventory, and commerce run from one ledger.
The federal GMP clock started April 28, 2026 for New York medical operators. The records half is built in, as a byproduct of operating normally.
SellStack moves the numbers on both sides of the ledger. Streamlined automation lifts productivity, so more of every sale reaches the bottom line instead of being spent on manual compliance and reconciliation work. And SellStack's B2B buyer tools have increased buyer purchasing by 50 to 75% in measured results (SellStack Insights Reporting), turning the wholesale relationships you already have into more volume without more headcount.
SellStack ships the commerce and records layer for New York cannabis operators. It does not stand in for the parts of compliance that are yours:
SellStack does not replace Metrc either. It reconciles to it, so the lot-level record the state sees already matches the record you run your business on. When OCM changes how Metrc works or tightens enforcement, SellStack's configuration layer handles the adaptation and your inventory logic stays stable.
SellStack is the cannabis commerce engine for operators running real multi-channel, multi-entity operations: B2B wholesale within the supply tier, B2C retail, delivery, and medical patient service, on one ledger with lot-level traceability and ERP integration.
