How it sells itself

Wholesale buyers upload certificates on a page that matches your storefront theme — no account needed. Review everything in one queue: smart checks flag bad certificate numbers and wrong states before you approve. One click sets Shopify's native tax exemption, tags the customer, and starts the renewal clock.

If you make exempt sales without valid exemption proof, the audit trail lands on you. Resale Proof handles resale-certificate compliance for B2B and nonprofit Shopify stores. Customers upload PDFs via a branded portal or magic-link email — no Shopify login. Per-state validation catches typos before signature. Approved certs auto-apply exemption at checkout. One-click audit-bundle PDF export.

Key points
  • Theme-matched upload page for buyers — no login or account needed
  • One-click approval sets Shopify tax-exempt, tags, and customer metafields
  • Smart checks flag bad certificate numbers and wrong states before approval
  • Renewal tracking: review due dates, an overdue tab, and in-app alerts
  • Per-state form library — MTC, CA, TX, NY, IL — filled in-app or upload-only
  • Magic-link upload — buyers send certs via email, no Shopify account needed
  • Audit-ready PDF bundle — cover sheet, state TOC, signed certs in one click
  • AI OCR pre-fill (Pro) — reads PDFs, auto-fills state + permit number
