Use when

You're selling a SaaS product or software to global customers and want a Merchant of Record to handle VAT and sales tax automatically.

Skip when

You’re not yet selling software or SaaS subscriptions. Gumroad is simpler for pure digital products.

Lemon Squeezy accepts payouts to African accounts. International card or Wise/Payoneer needed for withdrawals. Tax compliance handling is the core value — especially useful if you sell to EU customers and need VAT compliance.
