Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“Merchant of record means they handle tax compliance globally. The JS SDK and webhooks are clean.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“Higher fees than Stripe but handling global tax compliance yourself costs more. The MoR model is worth it for small teams.”
The Futurist
Big Picture
“Merchant of record services will become the default for digital products. Lemon Squeezy simplifies the hardest parts.”
Community Sentiment
“MoR model removes a lot of VAT/tax headaches for solo devs shipping globally, though fees add up at scale”
“Support is actually responsive when there are payout issues, way better than Gumroad was for me”
“Indie hackers love it for launch-day simplicity — no LLC needed, handles EU VAT automatically”
“Perfect for solo founders who want to ship a product without becoming a tax expert in 40 countries”
