Merchant of record to sell digital products and SaaS
Lemon Squeezy is an all-in-one platform for selling digital products, software, and subscriptions that acts as your merchant of record (MoR) — handling payments, global sales tax and VAT compliance, checkout, and billing so creators and software businesses do not have to. Popular with indie hackers, SaaS makers, and digital creators, it lets you start selling quickly with hosted checkouts, license-key generation for software, subscriptions, and a simple dashboard, while Lemon Squeezy takes on the legal and tax complexity of selling globally. Acquired by Stripe in 2024, it pairs a maker-friendly experience with merchant-of-record convenience.
The platform bundles selling, billing, and compliance. You get hosted and embeddable checkouts, subscription and one-time products, license-key management for software, digital-file delivery, discount codes, and affiliate tools; and — as MoR — automatic sales tax and VAT calculation and remittance worldwide. Lemon Squeezy adds customer and order management, an API and webhooks, revenue analytics, and email/receipt handling. Its combination of a smooth creator experience and MoR tax handling makes it a favorite for solo founders and small teams who want to sell internationally without setting up tax registrations or complex billing infrastructure.
Lemon Squeezy serves indie makers, SaaS founders, and digital creators who want to sell globally without tax and billing overhead. Its pricing is transaction-based with no monthly fee: a base of 5% + $0.50 per transaction (bundling payment processing, global tax compliance, fraud protection, and MoR services), with additional fees for extras like international cards (+1.5%), PayPal (+1.5%), subscriptions (+0.5%), and international payouts (1%); volume-based custom pricing is available. It competes with Paddle, Gumroad, Stripe, and Chargebee, differentiating on a maker-friendly merchant-of-record for digital products.
