ShipCompliant Product News

Updated July 29, 2020

Product Updates: July 2020

We are nearly through another busy Juling filing season. We are continuing to see growth in the number of shipments through ShipCompliant (in large part due to the ecommerce success many of our clients have seen during the pandemic), and the number of reports filed. This July, we prepared nearly 55,000 returns with an associated $25 million to be remitted to the states.  

There are two major changes we want to highlight for you this month:

DtC beer and spirits new offerings launched

As we mentioned in a recent update, we have been working on expansion of our direct-to-consumer product offering beyond wine to DtC beer, spirits and cider. DtC beer and spirits subscriptions are now available for customers to take advantage of! This new offering encompasses real-time tax collection, compliance checks, sales tax reporting, fulfillment management, and delivery experience. Excise tax reporting will be made available later this fall. DtC cider is currently in the works, and is expected to be made available this autumn as well. We are thrilled to expand our DtC wine offering to encompass new product types and look forward to expanding our mutual success in these new markets as the available states inevitably expand.

New billing platform, Netsuite, beginning with July invoices

What does this mean for current Sovos ShipCompliant customers? If you are on recurring billing today, that will continue to be the case (re-entry of payment information is not required). And if you were not on recurring billing, you will continue to receive invoices via email with a link for payment. 

With the introduction of Netsuite, American Express credit card payments will now be accepted. Also, historical invoices will no longer be accessible via the Billing page of your ShipCompliant account, but can be requested by emailing our finance team at accounting-us@sovos.com. We recommend downloading past invoices from the My Billing page for your records.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact our finance team at accounting-us@sovos.com.
