New Jersey · October 2026

New Jersey cannabis: six license classes, conversion deadlines, and a tax at every step.

The CRC held the Social Equity Excise Fee flat at $2.50 an ounce for 2026, conditional licensees are racing their conversion clocks, delivery and consumption lounges are still phasing in, and Metrc reconciliation runs underneath all of it. Operators stitching separate tools together reconcile by hand every time something moves.

SellStack handles seven New Jersey realities as one ledger. The market can keep maturing. Your operations do not have to scramble.

Out of the box

Seven New Jersey realities SellStack handles natively.

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

01 Multi-layer tax handling

SellStack's native tax engine handles the 6.625% state sales tax, the $2.50 per ounce Social Equity Excise Fee, and each town's local transfer tax out of the box, calculated at configuration.

02 Wholesale and transport, kept distinct

Class 3 wholesalers hold title; Class 4 distributors only transport. SellStack operates across both roles from one ledger, so title, custody, and movement stay straight.

03 Metrc-NJ reconciliation

New Jersey mandates Metrc, RFID-tagged and reconciled in real time. SellStack Cannabis ERP-Commerce ships with native Metrc integration, reconciled from the ledger, so a Metrc change does not rebuild your inventory logic.

04 Delivery, in-house or third-party

Class 5 retailers deliver with their own staff; Class 6 couriers deliver for them. SellStack owns the order and integrates with your delivery platform, with the service-area rules enforced.

05 Lot-aware traceability

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.

06 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 New Jersey cannabis operators. It does not stand in for the parts of compliance that are yours:

  • Your CRC license applications, conditional-to-annual conversions, and renewals
  • Municipal approvals and your local transfer-tax relationships
  • Social Equity, Impact Zone, and Diversely-Owned designation eligibility and re-verification
  • Your relationship with your distributor, your testing lab, or your Class 6 courier

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 CRC changes how Metrc works, SellStack's configuration layer handles the adaptation and your inventory logic stays stable.

Built for operators, not pitch decks

One ledger for every New Jersey channel.

SellStack is the cannabis commerce engine for operators running real multi-channel, multi-entity operations: B2B wholesale with Class 3 and Class 4 coordination, B2C retail, Class 5 and Class 6 delivery, and medical patient service, on one ledger with lot-level traceability and ERP integration.
