About Lemon Squeezy
Lemon Squeezy is a merchant of record payment platform for digital product creators and software developers, accessible via web browser. As the merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy handles VAT, GST, and sales tax collection and remittance in every country automatically — sellers never interact with tax authorities for their digital sales. It supports one-time purchases, subscriptions, usage-based billing, free trials, discount codes, and digital file delivery. A JavaScript SDK and webhooks make it straightforward to integrate into any web application. Pricing is a percentage-based fee per transaction with no monthly subscription. It is the most popular tax-compliant payment platform among indie developers and bootstrapped SaaS founders selling globally.
