What is the Missouri sales tax registration threshold?
The Missouri sales tax registration threshold is $100,000, measured over trailing 12 months, reviewed quarterly. Cross it and you must register for Missouri sales tax with the Missouri Department of Revenue. You then charge sales tax on sales to customers in Missouri.
Do marketplace sales count toward this threshold?
Yes. Missouri (sales tax) counts sales made through a marketplace facilitator toward the underlying seller's own threshold. The facilitator collects and remits the tax on those sales, so you are not paying it twice - but the volume still moves you toward the figure on this page, and you can be required to register on the strength of sales somebody else collected on.
Sales through a merchant of record such as Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy are different again: those are the platform's own sales and count toward no threshold anywhere.

When do you need to register?
Economic nexus: once your sales into the state pass its threshold (commonly $100k or 200 transactions), you must register and collect that state's sales tax.
Deadline: Register before your next sale - many states apply nexus prospectively from the crossing.
