01 Dual tax treatment at the register
SellStack's native tax engine applies the 12% adult-use rate and the medical exemption automatically at the point of sale, by channel.
Maryland's adult-use market launched in 2023 and keeps growing, with 917 million dollars sold through September 2026. The sales tax jumped to 12 percent, roughly 205 social equity licensees are racing conversion deadlines, delivery rules are shifting, and every transfer runs on a Metrc manifest. Operators stitching separate tools together reconcile by hand every time something moves.
SellStack handles seven Maryland realities as one ledger. The market can keep growing. Your operations do not have to strain.
Maryland is a young, growing market still settling its structure: a tax that just rose, a social equity conversion cliff, shifting delivery rules, and Metrc underneath all of it. Four pieces carry the most operational weight.
One ledger, not separate tools stitched together. Each links to the detail on the next page.

Maryland mandates Metrc, RFID-tagged with an electronic manifest before every transfer. SellStack ships with native Metrc integration, reconciled from the ledger, so a Metrc change does not rebuild your inventory logic.
Maryland has no distributor tier. Product moves grower to processor to dispensary directly, each movement on a Metrc manifest. SellStack runs those transfers from one ledger.
Micro dispensaries deliver adult-use and medical; standard dispensaries deliver medical through mid-2027. SellStack owns the order and integrates with your delivery platform, manifest-ready.
Every inventory, sales, and test record carries the lot identifier from receipt through sale, so the lot genealogy is the ledger. Metrc reconciliation and GMP both fall out of it.
SellStack Cannabis ERP-Commerce backs onto your ERP or warehouse platform. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cannabis on Business Central is fully supported, so financials, inventory, and commerce run from one ledger.
The federal GMP clock started April 28, 2026 for Maryland medical operators. The records half is built in, as a byproduct of operating normally.
SellStack moves the numbers on both sides of the ledger. Streamlined automation lifts productivity, so more of every sale reaches the bottom line instead of being spent on manual compliance and reconciliation work. And SellStack's B2B buyer tools have increased buyer purchasing by 50 to 75% in measured results (SellStack Insights Reporting), turning the wholesale relationships you already have into more volume without more headcount.
SellStack ships the commerce and records layer for Maryland cannabis operators. It does not stand in for the parts of compliance that are yours:
SellStack does not replace Metrc either. It reconciles to it, so the lot-level record the state sees already matches the record you run your business on. When the MCA changes how Metrc works or adjusts the rules, SellStack's configuration layer handles the adaptation and your inventory logic stays stable.
SellStack is the cannabis commerce engine for operators running real multi-channel, multi-entity operations: B2B wholesale with direct grower-to-dispensary movement, B2C retail, tiered delivery, and medical patient service, on one ledger with lot-level traceability and ERP integration.
