Later on, you send changes by email (a new price, a new photo, a new service) and the team makes them, with no extra charge.

Before you publish: Mississippi and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• A fictitious business name is registered with the Mississippi Secretary of State under Miss. Code Ann. §75-93-1 et seq. The filing records the name but creates no exclusive right to it. Miss. Code Ann. §75-93-1 et seq.
• Mississippi’s regular retail sales tax rate is 7%. Groceries dropped to 5% on July 1, 2025. Local add-ons exist only at the city level: Tupelo adds 0.25% and Jackson adds 1% on certain sales. A sales tax permit from the Department of Revenue is required before doing business, one per location. Mississippi Department of Revenue
