Before you switch

Should you replace Lemon Squeezy?

Why people stay 4

Sales-tax and VAT registration, collection, and remittance are handled on the seller’s behalf.
The dashboard keeps products, orders, subscribers, discounts, and affiliates in one manageable workspace.
Its API, test mode, and event system make automated SaaS provisioning practical for a small engineering team.
No recurring storefront bill keeps the upfront commitment low when a product is still finding customers.

Why people switch 4

The 5% plus 50-cent base fee is expensive for low-priced items and can outgrow the convenience at higher volume.
Extra charges for subscriptions, international cards, PayPal, and currency conversion make the effective rate harder to predict.
Account approval and merchant-of-record restrictions can block products or business models that fall outside its risk policies.
Payout timing and storefront customization offer less control than operating your own Stripe-based billing setup.
