21 States have passed or pending Click-Thru or Affiliate Nexus legislation, and 12 states are considering it as of this writing. The phenomenon is known as Click-Thru because it requires an out-of-state retailer to use an in-state marketing affiliate to promote his/her products through their e-commerce site. Once customers have purchased product beyond $10,000 from that out-of-state retailer via the marketing affiliate, that retailer is now required to collect and remit sales tax to the state.

Other states such as Illinois require merely a promotional coupon from that retailer. Yet other states are unsure what scenarios constitute an affiliate solicitation.
That being said, technology exists that can help automatically harvest as many affiliates as possible in-state. TaxCrawler can make the task of finding these sites very easy. This leads the state agency to merely codify the rules around affiliate nexus, and let TaxCrawler do the digging on the internet.
