Why do D2C brands need US entity?

Without a US entity: can't use Shopify Payments US (Indian merchant pays much higher fees), can't take ACH/Plaid, can't sell on Amazon US without complications, customers see foreign-card surcharges.

What's the best US state for D2C?

Delaware (VC-friendly, easy) or Wyoming (low cost, no state tax). Avoid California unless you have actual operations there — California's franchise tax ($800 min) bites.
