About

What is Lemon Squeezy?

Lemon Squeezy is the all-in-one merchant of record platform for indie developers, SaaS founders, and digital creators who want to sell software, subscriptions, and digital products without the complexity of tax compliance. As the merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy handles global VAT, sales tax, and EU digital goods tax on your behalf — so you never have to register for tax in hundreds of jurisdictions. It provides checkout, customer portal, license keys, affiliate management, and a developer API — everything needed to run a software business.
