Compliance that
shows its work.
Every DTC shipment decided the moment it's placed — licensure, eligibility, tax. Every figure cited to its source, every decision replayable years later.Every state. Every district. One ledger, zero guesswork.
Decisions are free. Everything else is $95 a month — no modules, no per-seat, no managed-services upsell.

Every shipment stands on three legs
License, eligibility, tax — decided in sequence, each one cited.
A shipment that fails any leg never ships. Pinrates runs all three the moment an order lands and writes the verdict — with its reasons — to the ledger.
May this winery ship into the destination state at all — and is the fulfilling party licensed?
Is the product permitted, the address shippable, the buyer of age and verified, and inside the annual volume window?
What is owed — to the dollar — once state, district, and excise are resolved at the rooftop?
One decision, and its receipt
The answer isn't a status. It's a worked return.
Every compliance tool gives you a checkmark. A checkmark is worthless eighteen months later, when a state asks why you charged $94.55 on one shipment. Pinrates' answer is a worked return — regenerated from first principles, line by line, down to line 18 — with every number pinned to the rule that produced it.
And because it works from first principles, it catches what totals-only systems miss — a district rate that changed mid-year, a wine classed under the wrong excise tier.

The constitution
Four rules Pinrates will not break.
These aren't features. They're the reason a compliance answer from Pinrates is one you can put your name on.
No rule goes live on one person's say-so. Every rate version is authored by one hand and countersigned by a credentialed reviewer before it can decide anything.
Each rate carries the authority it came from — the schedule, the publication, the district. Click any figure in a decision and the citation is right there.
When the data isn't there, Pinrates returns conditional and says exactly what's missing. It never quietly falls back to a default and calls it an answer.
Every decision is written to an append-only ledger with the exact rule versions it used. When a state questions a shipment from two years ago, you replay it — same answer, same citations, ready to hand over.
