1. The three-layer tax stack
What NV requires: Nevada charges a 15% wholesale excise assessed on the fair market value set by the Department of Taxation, a 10% retail excise on adult-use sales, and state sales tax of 6.85% that runs higher locally, reaching 8.375% in Clark County and Las Vegas. In FY25 the wholesale tax raised $37.3M and the retail tax raised $74.5M. Under AB 76 (2025), a Cannabis Advisory Commission subcommittee is studying eliminating the 15% wholesale excise and raising the 10% retail rate, with a report going to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Revenue, so the mix of the stack is an open question even though the layers are not.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack's tax engine calculates the 15% wholesale excise, the 10% retail excise, and the applicable sales tax from one configuration, each applied at the point where it is owed. Fair-market-value wholesale assessment and the retail layers are handled as one tax model, not reconstructed from reports at filing time.
What this means for your operations: You stop hand-building a three-layer tax calculation, and if the panel does move the wholesale tax into the retail rate, you change a configuration rather than rebuilding how your system books tax.

2. Metrc under the CCB
What NV requires: Nevada mandates Metrc for seed-to-sale tracking under the Cannabis Compliance Board, the regulator created by AB 533 in 2019. Every facility designates a Metrc administrator, and serialized plant and package tags follow product across every transfer and sale. The 2025 legislative session expanded the CCB's enforcement powers, so Metrc records that do not match the operation are a live liability.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack Cannabis ERP-Commerce ships with native Metrc integration and treats its own ledger as the source of truth, reconciling Metrc from it rather than building inventory logic on top of it. Every tag, transfer, and sale ties back to the lot record you already run on.
What this means for your operations: Metrc reconciliation is a byproduct of operating, not a separate end-of-day exercise, and when the CCB looks, the record the state sees already matches the record you run your business on.

3. The mandatory distributor tier
What NV requires: Nevada is one of the few states with a mandatory distributor middle tier. Under NRS 678D and NAC 678D, business-to-business transport of cannabis between establishments runs through a licensed distributor, so product rarely moves straight from cultivation or production to a retailer. That hand-off is a distinct regulated step with its own custody, its own Metrc transfer, and it sits downstream of the wholesale excise, which the cultivator owes on the first wholesale sale.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack models the distributor leg as part of one ledger. The transfer into the distributor and the transfer out to the retailer are tracked events against the same lot record, with the wholesale tax point handled where it actually lands and the Metrc transfer tied to the move. You are not reconstructing the middle tier from two systems that never talked.
What this means for your operations: The distributor hand-off that Nevada forces into your supply chain becomes a visible, reconciled step rather than a gap where custody, tax, and Metrc records fall out of sync.

4. Lounges and bigger delivery trips
What NV requires: Delivery is legal statewide, and after the Legislative Commission gave final approval to the CCB regs on September 24, 2026, a delivery vehicle can carry up to 12.5 ounces per trip, up from 5, with a per-consumer delivery limit of 2.5 ounces per day to a private residence, up from 1. Buyers show a 21-and-over photo ID. Consumption lounges, authorized by AB 341 in 2021, add an on-premises low-dose channel with no alcohol and no off-premises sales, though the rollout has been slow.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack owns the delivery and lounge order and carries it into fulfillment with the current Nevada caps enforced on the delivery side. The order, the manifest, and the lot record are one flow, not a re-keyed hand-off into a separate dispatch tool, and the caps are values you update when the CCB moves them rather than logic you rebuild.
What this means for your operations: Your delivery and on-premises channels run inside the same system as the rest of the operation, and the September 2026 trip and consumer caps are enforced where fulfillment actually happens, not tracked on a spreadsheet that goes stale the next time the CCB raises a limit.

5. Lot-aware traceability
What NV requires: Both Metrc on the state side and federal GMP, which has been live for Nevada medical operations since April 28, 2026, require lot-level records throughout the chain. A lot has to stay identifiable from receipt, through processing, to the point of sale, and the records have to hold up to a traceback.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack delivers lot-aware commerce from receipt through sale. Every inventory record, sales record, and test result carries the lot identifier, and the lot genealogy is the ledger itself, not something reconstructed from reports later.
What this means for your operations: The lot story is the audit story. Metrc reconciliation and the records half of GMP both come out as byproducts of operating normally, rather than as separate projects.

6. ERP integration
What NV requires: A Nevada operation has to keep financials, inventory, and commerce in agreement, and reconcile all of it to Metrc. Operators running a separate ERP and a separate commerce system carry a standing reconciliation burden between the two.
What SellStack does natively: SellStack Cannabis ERP-Commerce backs onto your ERP or warehouse platform as the system of record, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cannabis on Business Central is already fully supported. Financials, inventory, and commerce run from the same ledger, so the lot record, the financial record, and the inventory movement are the same record.
No ERP in place yet: You do not need an ERP to run SellStack. SellStack Cannabis E-Commerce Edition operates standalone, with no ERP underneath it, so an operation can stand up a GMP-ready sales model now and work out which ERP or warehouse platform to connect later, or whether to add one at all. Even standalone, it is lab-results compliant out of the box: because it ingests lab data, a no-ERP operation still meets Metrc, BioTrack, and other state lab-results requirements from day one. The lot-aware ledger, the commerce layer, and the records are the same with or without an ERP, so nothing has to be rebuilt when one is connected down the road. That makes it a fit for operations mid-transition, and for startups that need to be selling on a compliant, GMP-ready footing before the deeper infrastructure is in place.
What this means for your operations: There is no reconciliation project between the ERP and the commerce layer. One ledger means your books, your inventory, and your storefront never drift apart.

7. Schedule III GMP readiness
What NV requires: Medical cannabis moved to Schedule III federally, effective April 28, 2026, and it is in effect now for Nevada medical operations. Adult-use rescheduling is still pending; the DEA proceeding was stayed September 29, 2026 awaiting a GAO report, with a decision expected late 2026 or early 2027. For medical operators, GMP-grade records start to matter.
What SellStack does natively: The records half of GMP, immutable and lot-level, is built into how SellStack operates, so the audit trail is a byproduct of running on one lot-level ledger rather than a separate project.
What this means for your operations: Your Nevada medical operations build GMP-grade records now, on a clock that already started, without a parallel compliance system bolted on beside your commerce stack.
