Why pick Lemon Squeezy?
Lemon Squeezy acts as your merchant of record, meaning it handles global sales tax, VAT, and compliance so you do not have to. That convenience is worth a lot to indie SaaS founders, even with the per-transaction fee.
Best for: SaaS and digital sellers who want tax handled

Best for: Designers and content-led small stores
