Case Study: Thread Wallets achieves automated multi-state sales tax compliance with Avalara

Thread Wallets can’t slow down for sales tax

Thread Wallets, a Utah-based maker of printed elastic wallets and accessories, faced rising sales-tax complexity after the 2018 Wayfair decision as it expanded sales through its website, boutiques, retail chains and Amazon. Keeping up with changing rates and marketplace reporting was time-consuming and error-prone—reconciling multiple Amazon reports and filing across many jurisdictions became a major operational headache for the COO.

By integrating Avalara AvaTax, Avalara Extractor for Amazon and Avalara Returns with their Shopify Plus and Amazon channels, Thread Wallets automated tax calculations, synced marketplace sales, and automated return preparation and filing. The company now files in 44 states plus DC, saves an estimated 5–10 hours a month, and gains the time savings and peace of mind needed to keep growing.
