Authoritative answers to common questions, regulatory rules, and compliance guidance.
Why use an MoR like Lemon Squeezy instead of raw Stripe?
Raw Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 but requires you to register and file taxes in every US state and EU country. Lemon Squeezy handles all sales tax compliance, invoicing, and cross-border currency payouts for a 5% fee.
Does Lemon Squeezy charge extra for PayPal or international cards?
Yes. Lemon Squeezy adds a 1.5% fee for PayPal transactions and a 1.5% cross-border fee for cards issued outside your primary region.
How does Lemon Squeezy handle EU VAT and US economic nexus?
As a Merchant of Record, Lemon Squeezy is legally responsible for EU VAT and US state sales tax compliance under its own corporate entity, shielding software founders from international audit risk.
What payout methods are supported by Lemon Squeezy?
Lemon Squeezy supports direct bank account payouts via Wise, direct local bank transfers in 50+ countries, and PayPal payouts.
Is Lemon Squeezy suitable for recurring SaaS subscriptions?
Yes. Lemon Squeezy has native support for recurring billing, prorated upgrades, trial periods, dunning management, and customer self-service billing portals.
