- **Filing accuracy:** 100%

Founded in 2020, Gwella makes mushroom-based wellness products and supplements.
As its ecommerce business expanded, the team faced the work of registering,
calculating, and filing sales tax in eight states.

## A compliance burden during growth

Gwella's small finance team found that state-by-state requirements diverted
attention from product and market growth. The company needed a scalable solution
without the overhead of manual processing.

## Shopify integration and automation

Gwella chose Kintsugi for its Shopify integration and automation capabilities.
Kintsugi automated tax calculations at checkout and managed state-specific
filings, while the Kintsugi team guided the business through onboarding and
compliance requirements.

The quick setup, clear interface, and flexible pricing made it practical for an
expanding operation. Software updates and automated workflows helped the team
manage eight states without the usual manual burden.

## Efficiency gains fuel expansion

Since integrating Kintsugi, tax filings that once required hours of manual work
are completed through the compliance workflow. Gwella redirected that time to
product innovation and market growth.

- Eight states registered and compliant
- Hours of administrative work saved each week
- Accurate filings aligned with state requirements

With sales tax handled by Kintsugi, Gwella can continue expanding while its team
focuses on delivering wellness products to customers nationwide.
