Is Checkout Page a good Lemon Squeezy alternative?
It depends on whether you want a merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy sells under its own name and handles sales tax and VAT for you, for 5% + 50¢ per transaction with card processing included, as of October 2026. Stay with it if you sell software worldwide and want tax handled. Pick Checkout Page if you sell to your own audience and want the sale in your name: payments go to your own Stripe account, and you can add memberships, event tickets and donations. It is free up to $3K in monthly sales, then $99/mo up to $10K.
Pricing checked October 2026.

You might not need a merchant of record
Lemon Squeezy's pitch is convenience: as merchant of record it collects and remits sales tax and VAT for you. The price is 5% plus 50¢ of every sale, whether you owe tax anywhere or not, and a platform between you and your customers. Checkout Page runs on your own Stripe account instead.
Charge tax under your own name
Set one fixed rate, or let Stripe Tax calculate it per customer. About a minute to set up, with no 5% on every sale for compliance you may not need. Filing stays with you.
Direct payouts
Payments land in your Stripe account on your own payout schedule, with no platform holding your money along the way.

Customers, subscriptions and payment history live in your Stripe account. No lock-in: if you ever leave, everything stays with you.
