Lemon Squeezy

Merchant of record for selling software, subscriptions and digital goods

Lemon Squeezy is a payments and storefront platform for software companies and creators. It acts as merchant of record, so it handles international sales tax and VAT, fraud and chargebacks on your behalf. It supports one-time products, subscriptions, software license keys, affiliate programs and email marketing. Stripe acquired it in 2024, and it charges a fee per transaction rather than a monthly plan.
