Nexus Monitor

See where you may be approaching a sales tax obligation

Track state-by-state sales activity, compare it against current nexus thresholds you provide or verify, and surface where you may need to review your tax setup. This is an alerting workflow, not legal advice.

PROMPT

Monitor my potential sales tax nexus obligations across US states. Pull order data from [Shopify/Amazon/WooCommerce/eBay] and aggregate revenue and transaction counts by state. Compare them against my current nexus threshold table or a table I approve. Alert me via [Telegram/Slack/email] when I reach [X]% of any threshold. Track which states need review, keep already-registered states separate, and generate a monthly report with sales by state for accountant review. This should be an alerting and reporting workflow, not legal advice.

How It Works

Your Claw pulls order data from your sales channels, aggregates sales and

transaction counts by state, and compares them against the threshold table

you maintain or approve. When you approach a threshold, it flags the state

for review and prepares the supporting numbers.

What You Get

  • Sales-by-state tracking against your current nexus threshold table
  • Early warning alerts as you approach a threshold
  • A running list of states that need review
  • Filing-support reports with sales totals by state
  • Separate tracking for marketplace-only activity versus direct sales where relevant
  • Monthly summary of where your exposure may be changing

Setup Steps

  1. Connect all sales channels for order data
  2. Provide or approve the threshold table you want monitored
  3. Enter any states where you are already registered
  4. Set alert thresholds (for example, warn at 80%)
  5. Review the first monthly report with your accountant or tax advisor

Tips

  • Thresholds and marketplace-facilitator rules change, so keep the table current
  • Use this as an alerting layer, not as the final word on registration or filing
  • Separate marketplace-collected tax from your direct-channel obligations
  • Keep records of when you crossed or approached thresholds
  • If Amazon FBA or other warehousing creates extra exposure, track that as a separate input
