There are two kinds of companies when it comes to sales tax integrations.
The first kind has a clean setup. Their e-commerce platform talks to their ERP. Transactions posted correctly. Calculations fire in real time. Returns get filed on clean data. Nobody loses sleep over nexus thresholds.
The second kind has duct tape. A CSV export that someone remembers to run on Fridays. A connector that sort of works but nobody’s totally sure how. A support ticket that’s been open since Q3.
The difference between those two companies is almost always the integration layer. And that’s exactly what Integration Station is here to fix, or at least demystify.
Welcome to the show
Integration Station is a new video and content series from Zamp, hosted by Brian Poon, Zamp’s API Integrations Manager. Episode one is live now on YouTube.
The premise is simple: give developers, finance teams, and operators a real, unfiltered look at how Zamp’s integrations work, what’s in the pipeline, and how to actually get the most out of the platform. Not a product tour. Not a sales deck with a play button on it. The kind of content you’d get if you grabbed time with the person who wrote the API documentation and asked them to just show you how it works.
Brian has that job. Now he has a show.
What Zamp actually connects to
For the uninitiated, Zamp is a fully managed sales tax compliance platform. Over 1,200 finance and accounting teams use it to handle everything from real-time tax calculations and nexus tracking to return filings, registrations, and notice management. The “fully managed” part matters because Zamp isn’t just software you configure and forget. There’s a team of actual sales tax experts behind it.
But software still needs to talk to other software. And that’s where the integration layer becomes the whole game.
Zamp currently offers 30+ connector integrations spanning ERPs, accounting platforms, e-commerce storefronts, billing tools, marketplaces, and order systems. NetSuite. QuickBooks Online. Shopify. BigCommerce. Stripe. Adobe Commerce. Xero. Amazon. Walmart. TikTok. Faire. The list is long, and it keeps growing.
For teams that need more control, Zamp also offers a full API suite: real-time tax calculation, address validation, custom built integrations, and simple transaction posting for multi-channel sellers who need flexibility that no off-the-shelf connector is going to give them. When you build on the API, you get everything Zamp supports, not just the subset that fits inside a connector’s feature set. You also get direct access to the team maintaining those APIs, which is worth more than most people realize until they need it.
What Integration Station covers
Each episode is built around something practical. Here’s what Brian will be delivering across the series:
Integration Demos. Live walkthroughs of specific integrations so you can see exactly what data moves, how it moves, and what the setup actually looks like in practice. No hand-waving. No “and then the magic happens” jumps in the demo.
How-To Guides. Step-by-step walkthroughs for specific features and workflow configurations. The kind of content that saves your implementation team a support ticket and an afternoon.
Sneak Peeks. Early looks at new functionality and integrations before they ship. If you’re a developer or a partner who wants to stay ahead of the roadmap, this is your feed to follow.
Taxability Scenarios. Real-world tax situations that come up in practice, handled through Zamp. Some of these are genuinely strange. All of them are useful for anyone managing compliance across a catalog with any complexity to it.
Why this matters for accounting teams
If you’re a business selling into multiple state jurisdictions or an accounting firm managing client sales tax for the same, the integration question comes up in every onboarding. What platforms are being sold on? Where do the transactions live? What’s the ERP situation?
Integration Station gives you a resource to point clients toward, or to use yourself when you’re evaluating fit. Seeing how an integration actually works is a lot more useful than reading a feature checklist. Brian will be showing the real thing.
The first of a series
Brian kicks things off by laying the full foundation: what Zamp is, how the integration ecosystem is structured, and why the API path exists alongside the connector integrations. It’s a fast watch and a genuinely useful orientation whether you’re new to Zamp or just haven’t dug into the integration layer yet.
