All-in-one Merchant of Record for digital products and SaaS.
What It Does
LemonSqueezy handles payments, tax collection, invoicing, and global compliance so you don't have to. As a Merchant of Record, they're the legal seller — meaning sales tax, VAT, and GST are their problem, not yours.
Why Solo Builders Use It
Zero tax headaches — they handle VAT/sales tax in every country
Checkout, subscriptions, and license keys all built in
No need to register for tax in dozens of jurisdictions
Simple API and pre-built checkout overlays get you selling fast
Pricing
5% + 50c per transaction. No monthly fees. You pay more per sale than Stripe, but you're paying for tax compliance you'd otherwise spend thousands on.
Verdict
The smart choice for solo builders selling globally who don't want to become tax accountants — the higher fee is worth the peace of mind.
