Merchant of record for digital products
Lemon Squeezy handles payments, taxes, and compliance for digital product sellers. Sell software, courses, and subscriptions globally without worrying about VAT or sales tax — they handle it all.
Acts as merchant of record, so it handles global sales tax and VAT on your behalf — that is the whole reason to accept higher fees than Stripe. For a solo operator selling digital products internationally it is the sane default.
Volume where the fee difference outweighs the compliance convenience.
