Introduction

Bike racks built to last. A business built on WooCommerce.

QuikrStuff is a Colorado-based modular bike rack company co-founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneur Bryan Wachs and manufacturer JT Westcott.

After running nine other businesses — including a digital agency serving ecommerce brands — Bryan knew sales tax could quickly derail growth.

With a 99.9% U.S.-made product, small team, and nationwide sales footprint that’s now expanding into Canada, QuikrStuff needed a system as dependable as the racks it builds.

So from day one, he automated QuikrStuff’s sales tax compliance with TaxCloud.

Challenge

Complex rules, nexus blindspots, and unreliable support

From years helping ecommerce brands scale, Bryan had seen the same sales tax nightmare on repeat — tools that promised automation but delivered error-prone manual fixes, hidden fees, and slow support.

With his new company QuikrStuff also planning to sell nationwide through WooCommerce, Bryan knew the risks if he didn’t solve sales tax early:

• Nexus creep. Rapid growth across 50 states triggers registration and filing obligations fast.
• Jurisdictional sales tax headaches. Thousands of local tax rules across the U.S. (including Colorado’s home-rule cities) make compliance error-prone without automation.
• Manual “automation” that creates risk. Many providers claim full automation but still rely on manual data entry behind the scenes, increasing the chance of filing errors and missed deadlines.
• Support that stops at the login screen. When something goes wrong, most sales tax compliance providers offer slow or no response, forcing ecommerce businesses to troubleshoot compliance issues on their own.

“In ecommerce, sales tax can spiral fast. I’d seen it break companies. I wasn’t going to let that happen here.”

Solution

Effortless sales tax, built for WooCommerce

From day one, Bryan wanted a sales tax solution as dependable as his product — simple to integrate, proactive about compliance, and backed by real people when it mattered. TaxCloud delivered on all three.

• Native WooCommerce integration. As a longtime open-source advocate, Bryan built QuikrStuff on WooCommerce and needed a sales tax solution that worked natively within it.
• Automated nexus tracking. With nationwide sales, keeping up with state thresholds could have become a full-time job.
• Nationwide filing made effortless. TaxCloud automatically manages sales tax rate calculation and filing across all 50 states — including complex local sales tax rules in states like Colorado, where home-rule cities can set their own rates.
• Responsive, expert support. What stands out most to Bryan — and the reason he recommends TaxCloud to other WooCommerce sellers — is TaxCloud’s people: fast, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his business.

“TaxCloud was one of the only companies with a direct WooCommerce integration — and it just worked.”

Results

Hands-off compliance. Full-speed growth.

With TaxCloud in place, QuikrStuff’s sales tax runs quietly in the background — accurate, automated, and fully compliant across 50 states.

• Less than an hour a month on sales tax. “We rarely hear about sales tax from our controller anymore because TaxCloud just works.”
• Consistent, accurate filings. Across four years of nationwide operations, TaxCloud has kept QuikrStuff compliant and on time — even in complex home-rule states like Colorado.
• Always audit-ready. TaxCloud’s automated nexus tracking, filings, and audit support keep compliance up to date in every state.
• Peace of mind. “TaxCloud has saved me from three or four heart attacks. It makes something overwhelming completely manageable, and I know that if something ever went wrong TaxCloud’s team would have my back.”

“When you need help, you get a real person who knows your account and the intricacies of sales tax. In an age of AI, human collaboration still matters to businesses — TaxCloud’s support team and tax experts bridge that perfectly.”

Looking ahead

Shifting into a higher gear

QuikrStuff continues to grow its U.S. reach and expand into Canada, confident that compliance won’t slow them down.

“At this point, TaxCloud is part of our business fabric,” Bryan said. “It gives us confidence to grow without adding stress. You can’t put a price on that.”
