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% 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.
Pay for tax compliance only where you owe it
Many countries and US states only require tax registration once your sales there pass a threshold. Charge fixed tax rates or turn on Stripe Tax to collect where you're registered, instead of paying 5% on every sale for compliance you may not need.
Direct payouts
Payments land in your Stripe account on your own payout schedule, with no platform holding your money along the way.
You own the customer relationship
Customers, subscriptions and payment history live in your Stripe account. No lock-in: if you ever leave, everything stays with you.
