Retail & E-commerce

Inventory, marketplace sales tax, and margin that swings hard by SKU.

Retail and e-commerce economics happen at SKU level. Inventory is usually your biggest balance-sheet item and the one stated least accurately. Your cash is sitting in stock, and margin swings far more between products than most operators realise.

Sales tax is where the compliance weight sits. Economic nexus, marketplace facilitator rules, and the same item being taxable in one state and not in the next.
