Lemon Squeezy
Fresh80% completeLemon Squeezy is a merchant of record (MoR) platform that handles the full commerce stack for software founders and digital creators — hosted checkout, global VAT/GST collection and remittance, SaaS subscriptions, digital file delivery, license key issuance, and email marketing under a single per-transaction fee. As MoR, Lemon Squeezy is the legal seller of record, eliminating the need for sellers to register for sales tax or VAT in individual jurisdictions. Acquired by Stripe in July 2024, the platform remains operational while Stripe migrates its MoR capabilities into Stripe Managed Payments.
