Lemon Squeezy

Merchant of record for digital goods

PaidPayments & billinglemonsqueezy.com

What it is

Merchant of record for digital products and SaaS at a flat 5% + $0.50 per transaction. Handles global sales tax, EU VAT and GST calculation, collection and filing, plus hosted checkout, subscriptions, licence keys and affiliates. Stripe acquired the company in 2024.

Why it earns a slot

One flat fee erases every tax-compliance question a solo builder has, which is worth more than a couple of percentage points once you are selling into dozens of countries.

Know before you commit

Now in maintenance limbo: Stripe is steering users toward Stripe Managed Payments and has promised a migration path, with no committed sunset date as of August 2026. Starting a new business here means planning a migration you did not choose.
