Lemon Squeezy

Lemon Squeezy is a modern builder of payment pages, subscriptions and digital storefronts that calculates taxes worldwide automatically. Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, it was acquired by Stripe in 2024.

Features

The platform provides hosted checkout links, an overlay checkout, licence key generation, an affiliates module and a global tax merchant-of-record service. As merchant of record, it handles sales tax and VAT collection for the seller. The company positions it for very fast launch of payment links and pages without a backend.

Customers and markets

Target segments are SaaS, independent developers, AI products, digital downloads and creators. The company supports more than 135 currencies and sells globally.

Pricing

The fee is 5 percent plus 0.50 USD per transaction. Because the merchant-of-record model bundles tax handling into that rate, sellers comparing it with a plain payment processor should look at the full cost, including payout and refund terms.
