Kintsugi integrates with Checkout Champ to automate sales tax for high-volume DTC brands: nexus monitoring, registration, filing, and remittance.

Sales tax is one of the fastest-growing liabilities for ecommerce brands. The
moment a Checkout Champ merchant crosses a threshold in a new state or country,
an obligation can exist whether or not tax was collected.

Checkout Champ now integrates with Kintsugi, an automated sales tax platform
built to help merchants stay compliant as they scale.

## About Checkout Champ

Checkout Champ is a high-performance ecommerce platform for direct-to-consumer
brands. It provides high-converting sales funnels, single-step checkouts,
one-click upsells, subscription billing, multi-store management, and more than
500 integrations from one dashboard.

## How the integration works

Connecting Checkout Champ to Kintsugi takes a few minutes and does not require
engineering resources:

1. Create a read-only API user in Checkout Champ.
2. Enter the credentials in Kintsugi under Data Sources.
3. Confirm the connection.

Kintsugi then syncs orders, transactions, customers, and products to provide a
current view of sales tax exposure across the states where the business sells.
Its AI engine categorizes products for tax purposes and flags addresses that
need review, while continuous syncing keeps exposure monitoring current.

## A complete compliance workflow

Kintsugi's Checkout Champ integration supports:

- Real-time nexus monitoring
- State and country registrations
- Sales tax calculation on each transaction
- Automated filing and remittance
- Lower compliance costs and administrative overhead

Checkout Champ merchants can scale their stores while Kintsugi handles the
complexity of sales tax compliance behind the scenes.
