LemonSqueezy is a merchant-of-record (MoR). It handles tax, VAT, currency conversion, and compliance for global sales — useful for digital products and SaaS sold internationally.
Full setup walkthrough being written. Pattern is similar to Stripe — connect API key, configure products in LemonSqueezy dashboard, integrate via webhook.

​
When to pick over Stripe

  • You sell digital goods globally and don’t want to handle VAT yourself.
  • You want a simpler-than-Stripe checkout experience.

​
When Stripe is better

  • You’re US-only or your tax situation is simple.
  • You need Stripe Connect for marketplaces.
  • You want maximum extensibility.
