Ohio · October 2026

Ohio cannabis: a legislative overhaul, hard market caps, and purchase limits that keep moving.

Ohio rewrote its program with SB 56 in March 2026: one regulator, a 400-dispensary cap, eight-one-one ownership limits, aligned potency caps, and in-state-only sourcing. New purchase limits took effect in October 2026, and there is still no adult-use delivery channel. Cumulative sales have passed 4.4 billion dollars. Operators stitching separate tools together re-key compliance every time a rule shifts.

SellStack handles seven Ohio realities as one ledger. The rules keep moving. Your register does not have to.

Out of the box

Seven Ohio realities SellStack handles natively.

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

01 Three-layer tax at the register

SellStack's native tax engine handles the 10% excise, the 5.75% state sales tax, and local rates out of the box, calculated at configuration.

02 Metrc-OH reconciliation

Ohio mandates Metrc for every license type, RFID-tagged. SellStack ships with native Metrc integration, reconciled from the ledger, so a Metrc change does not rebuild your inventory logic.

03 In-state supply, under the caps

All product is Ohio-sourced, under 8-1-1 ownership limits and a 400-dispensary cap. SellStack runs multi-entity operations from one ledger, inside the limits.

04 Purchase and potency limits, enforced at sale

SB 56 potency caps and the October 2026 purchase limits have to be enforced at the register. SellStack applies them in the commerce layer, configured to Ohio's category caps.

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

  • Your DCC license applications, renewals, and the annual independent third-party certification
  • Host-community relationships and local approvals
  • Facility design, testing, and personnel records
  • Your relationship with your cultivator, processor, or testing lab

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

Built for operators, not pitch decks

One ledger for every Ohio channel.

SellStack is the cannabis commerce engine for operators running real multi-channel, multi-entity operations: B2B wholesale within Ohio's licensed supply chain, B2C retail, and medical patient service, on one ledger with lot-level traceability and ERP integration.
