  "what": "Merchant of record for indie SaaS and digital products at 3.9% + $0.40 per transaction, the cheapest headline MoR rate in this list. Handles VAT, GST and sales tax across 190+ countries, plus subscriptions, chargeback protection and revenue splits, with payouts on the 1st and 15th.",
  "why": "Roughly a full percentage point cheaper than Paddle or Lemon Squeezy on every sale while still taking tax compliance off your plate — a gap that compounds as revenue grows.",
  "warn": "Younger and smaller than Paddle or Stripe, so platform risk is real: merchant payouts are documented for only about 86 countries, and routing all of your revenue through a startup processor is itself a bet.",
