Arizona cannabis: no state track-and-trace, vertically integrated licenses, and a 16 percent excise reported every month.

Arizona is the exception: it runs no Metrc, no BioTrack, no state seed-to-sale system at all, so your own records are the compliance backbone, filed monthly on the MET-1. Most operators are vertically integrated dual licensees selling medical and adult-use from one location, delivery has been legal since 2024, and the market has matured past a billion dollars. When your records are the system of record, they have to be clean.

SellStack handles six Arizona realities as one ledger: with no state backstop, your ledger is the backstop, and it moves your numbers too, with buyer purchasing up 50 to 75% through its B2B buyer tools (SellStack Insights Reporting).

Out of the box

Six Arizona realities SellStack handles natively.

One ledger, not separate tools stitched together. Each links to the detail on the next page.

01 16% excise plus TPT, reported monthly

SellStack's native tax engine handles the 16% excise, the 5.6% TPT and local rates, and the medical exemption, and keeps the figures the monthly MET-1 needs on one ledger.

02 Vertically integrated, dual-licensed

One establishment license covers cultivation to retail, and dual licensees sell medical and adult-use from one location. SellStack runs the full vertical chain on one ledger.

03 No state track-and-trace. Your ledger is the system of record.

Arizona runs no Metrc and no BioTrack. With a lot-aware ledger, your own records are the compliance backbone, and the monthly MET-1 comes off them.

04 Delivery, under the vehicle rules

Adult-use delivery is legal statewide since November 2024, with unmarked GPS vehicles, a $10,000 trip cap, and locked storage. SellStack owns the order and integrates with your delivery platform.

05 ERP integration

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.

Measured results

SellStack does not just keep you compliant. It lifts your productivity and your buyers' purchasing.

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.

What SellStack does not do

The honest line.

SellStack ships the commerce and records layer for Arizona cannabis operators. It does not stand in for the parts of compliance that are yours:

  • Your ADHS establishment license applications, renewals, and agent cards
  • Local approvals and zoning
  • Facility design, testing, and multi-year record retention
  • Your relationship with your testing lab or your delivery agents

Arizona runs no state track-and-trace system, so there is nothing for SellStack to replace there. What it provides is the clean, lot-aware system of record the state expects you to keep yourself, and the data your monthly MET-1 needs, off one ledger rather than reconstructed under inspection.

Built for operators, not pitch decks

One ledger for every Arizona channel.

SellStack is the cannabis commerce engine for operators running real vertically integrated, multi-channel operations: cultivation-to-retail under one license, B2C retail, delivery, and medical patient service, on one ledger with lot-level traceability and ERP integration.
