Lemon Squeezy

Lemon Squeezy is an all-in-one platform for selling software, digital products, and subscriptions that handles payments, billing, and — crucially — global tax compliance as a merchant of record. For indie developers and small software businesses, selling internationally means dealing with a nightmare of sales tax, VAT, and regulations across dozens of jurisdictions. Lemon Squeezy takes that entire burden off your plate by acting as the seller of record, collecting and remitting taxes worldwide so you can focus on building and selling your product rather than navigating tax law.

The platform provides everything needed to run a digital product business: accepting payments, managing subscriptions and recurring billing, delivering digital goods and license keys, handling refunds and customer billing, and providing checkout that works globally. As merchant of record, it takes legal responsibility for the transaction and the associated tax obligations, which is a huge relief for small teams that can't afford a tax department. It also offers tools for things like email and affiliate features, and a developer-friendly API, making it a streamlined way to launch and monetize software without stitching together many services.

Lemon Squeezy is popular with indie hackers, SaaS founders, and creators selling digital products who want to start charging customers worldwide without drowning in tax and compliance complexity. The value is simplicity and peace of mind: you get paid, your customers get a smooth checkout, and the platform shoulders the tax and legal headaches that come with selling globally. This lets small teams operate internationally with the compliance of a much larger company. For developers and creators who want to sell software or digital products globally and never want to think about VAT and sales tax, Lemon Squeezy offers an elegant, all-in-one solution.
