Merchant of Record (MoR) and payments-provider selection for SaaS and digital products — when to let a MoR (Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, FastSpring, Polar, Creem, Gumroad) handle global sales tax/VAT for you vs running a self-managed processor (Stripe + Stripe Tax), and which provider fits. Use when deciding how to bill global customers, unsure whether a Merchant of Record should own tax compliance or you should manage it yourself, comparing Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy vs Polar vs Creem vs Stripe on fees and tax coverage, worried about EU VAT / US sales tax / GST nexus, picking a billing provider for a new SaaS, the ~5% MoR fee feeling high, or weighing a costly switch between providers. Do NOT use for Paddle-specific API/config (use /sales-paddle), Lemon Squeezy-specific setup (use /sales-lemonsqueezy), checkout-conversion optimization (use /sales-checkout), subscription churn/dunning tactics (use /sales-membership), or two-sided marketplace seller payouts (use /sales-marketplace-payouts).
