If you run multiple Shopify stores in the USA, do you know if these stores combined have to pay sales tax in other states when they all hit the threshold of sales in a state? or is it by each store hitting the threshold individually? thank you

When you register for sales tax with each state, you register by EIN. That would suggest that if your stores are all with the same EIN, then you would combine your sales to determine nexus. If your stores each have their own EIN, then you'd probably determine each store separately. That's how I'd approach it.

If under the same legal entity and EIN, yes, assuming your products are taxable and you cross economic nexus thresholds or have physical nexus. If you also sell on a marketplace such as Amazon, this process get much more complicated.
