MYTH 1: South Dakota’s law says I must sell $100k or 200 transactions in
their state, so I’m good. NO: This is not about South Dakota. This

If it came down to me having my own licenses, California, Texas, and
Florida probably account for nearly half my sales. I could run a
business that ships only to these states an...
The news articles basically say everything is up in the air but if you
have less than 200 sales per state per year, which is not a full time
