Problem: Shopify Basic doesn’t make it easy to get a clean Sales by State export for sales tax prep / nexus monitoring.

What I needed: A simple export by state (order count + gross sales), without messy spreadsheets and pivot tables every month/quarter.

I wrote a simple step-by-step guide (free):

Shopify “Sales by State” for Taxes (Basic/Small Stores) — The Simple Guide (2026) - Google Docs

I’m also building a tiny “1-click Sales by State export” utility (read-only) for Basic/Shopify plan stores.

If you want early access, here’s the form (takes ~30 seconds):

Question: What’s the most annoying part for you—getting gross sales by state, handling refunds, or matching what your accountant/tax tool expects?

(Not tax advice—just trying to make the reporting/export part painless.)
