01 — The problem

The tools weren't
built for your store.

Enterprise tax tools were priced for SAP. Others pivoted toward payment processors. The rest charge per filing across every state you operate in. None of them live inside the system that actually runs your commerce. You're left with another login, another contract, another quarterly scramble.

PAIN 01 / PRICING OPACITY

"The pricing we've been quoted is $7,400/year for 15,000 transactions. The fee for filing is separate. Then came the renewal — they called it a 'market adjustment.'"

The enterprise pricing trap
Median annual enterprise tax software spend: $19,143 — before filing fees (Vendr, 2025)
PAIN 02 / THE QUARTERLY SCRAMBLE

"Every quarter: pull Amazon reports. Pull Shopify. Pull Walmart. Match it all in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. File. Pray. Then the notice arrives anyway."

40+ hours per quarter
Multi-channel operators report 40+ hours per filing period just on data reconciliation
PAIN 03 / INVISIBLE FBA NEXUS

"My FBA inventory moved to a Pennsylvania warehouse in February. I found out in August — when the notice arrived. Six months of uncollected tax."

The FBA nexus trap
FBA creates physical nexus silently — in states you haven't registered in
PAIN 04 / WRONG TOOL FOR AMAZON

"We moved from one tool to another. Then realized neither of them actually reconcile Amazon's marketplace-collected tax against what I still owe. I was over-remitting."

The MFC reconciliation gap
Amazon collects tax on your behalf — but not everything, and not always correctly
02 — How STAC works

The agent acts.
You review. Or don't.

STAC isn't a dashboard you log into every quarter. It's an agent running inside Sydon Symphony — watching your channels continuously, acting when thresholds trip, and filing when deadlines approach.

01
Connect channels
Link Amazon SP-API, Shopify, and Walmart in minutes. STAC reads your full transaction history, maps FBA inventory locations, and establishes your baseline nexus exposure across all 45 states. No implementation consultant. No six-week onboarding.
Live at launch
02
Nexus monitored
Economic thresholds, FBA physical nexus, marketplace-facilitator rules — monitored daily across all connected channels. The moment you approach a threshold, STAC flags it and queues registration before you cross — before the state notices.
Live at launch
03
SKUs classified
Protein bars, supplements, apparel, digital goods — taxability varies by product and state. STAC maps your Amazon Browse Nodes to SST TIC codes and applies the correct treatment per product, per state. Confident classifications auto-apply. Uncertain ones surface for your review.
Live at launch
04
Amazon reconciled
Amazon collected on your behalf — but marketplace-facilitator rules are inconsistent, and settlement reports don't tell you the full picture. STAC parses your settlement data, separates what Amazon collected from what you still owe, and eliminates the spreadsheet entirely.
Live at launch
05
Returns filed
Phase 2 (October 2026): STAC submits SST-format returns directly to all 24 member states. You get a confirmation, a timestamp, and a $0 in the penalty column. Not "prepares for you to file." Files. Complete audit trail retained for 7+ years per compliance requirements.
Phase 2 · Oct '26
Amazon-first · FBA-native

Built for the seller
legacy tools don't
actually serve.

Amazon FBA creates the most complex tax exposure in e-commerce — physical nexus from warehouse locations, marketplace-facilitator collected tax, settlement report reconciliation. Every major tool mentions it. None of them own it. STAC does.

1
FBA physical nexus detection
STAC monitors your FBA inventory warehouse locations via SP-API. The moment inventory lands in a new state, nexus exposure is calculated and registration is queued.
2
Marketplace-facilitator reconciliation
Amazon collected tax on your behalf — STAC parses settlement reports to draw the line between what Amazon remitted and what you still owe. No more spreadsheet prayer.
3
Combined-channel threshold tracking
Your Amazon + Shopify + Walmart revenue is aggregated per state. Crossing a threshold on any channel counts. Most tools only see one. STAC sees all three.
03 — vs. the field

Not another
bolt-on.

Every other tool is a separate login, a separate contract, and a separate support ticket when something goes wrong. STAC is the agent that already lives inside your commerce operating system.

05 — Where STAC lives

One OS for your
entire commerce.

STAC is one agent inside Sydon Symphony — the agentic commerce operating system. When your inventory agent detects an FBA shipment landing in a new state, STAC already knows before you do. That cross-agent intelligence isn't possible when your tax tool is a separate SaaS product with a separate login and a separate data model.

08 — About us

Built by operators,
for operators.

Our mission

Make sales tax invisible.

Sales tax compliance consumes thousands of hours and millions of dollars annually from businesses that should be spending that energy on growth. The system isn't broken — it's just never been automated properly for the sellers who need it most.

STAC exists to make the entire compliance lifecycle — monitoring, classifying, reconciling, filing — something that runs in the background without your attention. Not a tool you manage. An agent that works.

Who we are

Sydon AI.

We build Sydon Symphony — an agentic operating system for commerce. STAC is the first agent in that platform: purpose-built for the tax compliance layer, designed from the ground up for Amazon-first, multi-channel operators.

We aren't a tax consulting firm that added software. We aren't a payment company that added tax. We're an AI company building the operating infrastructure that modern commerce runs on — and we started with the most painful, most neglected problem first.

Why we built STAC
$19k
Median annual spend on enterprise tax software for sellers who needed a $29/mo solution. We saw the gap and built into it.
45
States with economic nexus thresholds — each with different rules, rates, and filing frequencies. The complexity was a feature for legacy vendors. For us, it's the problem to solve.
0
Tools that natively own the Amazon FBA nexus problem — physical nexus detection, MFC reconciliation, and combined-channel tracking in one place. Until now.

09 — FAQ

Every question,
answered directly.

8 questions. No hedging. If something's missing, the waitlist confirmation email has our direct line.

What exactly does STAC do — and what do I still handle myself? +

Phase 1 (July 2026 — at launch): STAC connects to your Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart accounts, monitors your nexus exposure across 45 states daily, calculates the correct rate for every transaction, classifies your products, and reconciles what Amazon collected on your behalf versus what you still owe. It produces a filing-ready summary each period — you review it and submit manually.

Phase 2 (October 2026): STAC submits returns directly to all 24 SST member states. You receive a confirmation and a timestamp. That’s it. By Phase 4, full 45-state automated filing is handled end-to-end. We show exactly which phase covers which capability — nothing is buried in fine print.

What does STAC do specifically for Amazon FBA sellers? +

Amazon FBA creates three compliance problems that most tools handle poorly. STAC owns all three:

  • FBA physical nexus detection — STAC monitors your inventory warehouse locations via SP-API in real time. The moment FBA moves stock into a new state, nexus exposure is calculated and registration is queued before you cross the threshold.
  • Marketplace-facilitator reconciliation — Platforms collect and remit tax on your behalf in most states, but not all transactions and not always correctly. STAC parses your settlement reports to draw the exact line between what was remitted and what you still owe — eliminating the spreadsheet entirely.
  • Combined-channel threshold tracking — Your Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart revenue is aggregated per state. Crossing a threshold on any channel counts. STAC sees all three simultaneously so no exposure goes undetected.
Why is STAC so much cheaper than traditional tax software? +

Traditional tax compliance tools were built for enterprise customers — global manufacturers, Fortune 500 finance teams, large ERP deployments. Their pricing, implementation requirements, and contract structures reflect that audience. The median spend on such platforms reaches $19,143/year before filing fees, and costs routinely jump 200%+ at renewal with no warning.

STAC is built for multi-channel e-commerce operators under $10M — a segment that gets systematically over-billed for capabilities it doesn’t need. We publish our price above the fold because $29/mo is the actual price, not a starting point for negotiation. The filing add-on ($39/return) is published too. There is no hidden tier, no annual lock-in, and no renewal shock.

How does STAC handle product taxability across different states? +

Tax treatment varies dramatically by product and state. Protein supplements are taxable in 38 states, exempt in 7, and reduced in 2. Clothing under $110 is exempt in New York but taxable in California. These rules change multiple times a year.

STAC uses the SST Taxability Information Code (TIC) taxonomy — the industry standard covering ~300 product categories — and maps your Amazon Browse Nodes and Shopify product types to the right codes automatically. Confident classifications apply immediately. Any product STAC can’t classify with high confidence is surfaced for your one-click review, with suggested codes and the reasoning behind them.

What is the penalty guarantee and what exactly does it cover? +

If STAC misses a filing deadline on a return that STAC is responsible for submitting, two things happen: you don’t pay STAC for that month, and we cover the state-assessed penalty in full. No asterisks. No “subject to review.” It’s in our terms of service, not just on this page.

Coverage details: the automated filing guarantee applies from Phase 2 onward. For Phase 1, the guarantee covers calculation accuracy — if STAC’s prepared return data contains a rate or classification error that directly causes a penalty, we cover it. We carry Errors & Omissions insurance before filing goes live, because this commitment has to be backed by something real.

Can I switch from my current tool without starting over? +

Yes — and you don’t need to cancel anything first. Reserve access, onboard when STAC launches in July, and run both in parallel for a quarter if you want to verify accuracy side-by-side before making the switch.

During onboarding, STAC imports your existing state registrations, maps your current filing obligations and frequencies, and picks up from where you are — not from scratch. Most operators find one quarter of parallel running is enough to be confident in the coverage.

What states and channels does STAC support at launch? +

States: Nexus monitoring, rate calculation, and product taxability across all 45 states with economic nexus thresholds, plus DC. Automated filing starts with 24 SST member states in Phase 2 (October 2026) and expands to full 45-state coverage in Phase 4.

Channels at launch: Amazon (SP-API, FBA-native), Shopify (Admin REST API), and Walmart Marketplace. QuickBooks sync and WooCommerce integrations follow in Phase 2. BigCommerce in Phase 3.

Not yet supported: Colorado home-rule jurisdictions (70+ separate returns — deferred to Phase 4), international VAT/GST, and restaurant POS integrations (Phase 4).

What is Sydon Symphony, and do I need the whole platform to use STAC? +

Sydon Symphony is the agentic operating system for commerce — a platform where individual agents (STAC for tax, and others in development for inventory, pricing, listings, forecasting, and more) share a common data layer about your business.

You do not need the full Symphony platform to use STAC. STAC works as a standalone agent with your existing Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart integrations from day one.

The advantage of being inside Symphony grows as more agents launch. STAC’s FBA nexus detection improves when it shares real-time inventory location data with the Inventory agent, for example. But that’s upside, not a prerequisite.
