Lemon Squeezy

Merchant-of-record platform for selling digital products, subscriptions, and software licenses. Handles payments, global tax compliance, and fraud prevention so vendors can focus on building and marketing. Accepts payments from 135+ countries with support for 20+ payment methods including PayPal, and offers local currency display across 130+ countries.

Trusted by thousands of software companies and digital creators globally. Lemon Squeezy acts as the merchant of record and shoulders VAT, sales tax, and fraud liability, contrasting with solutions where vendors manage their own tax registration. Popular among teams migrating from Gumroad or Paddle. Official SDKs for JavaScript and Laravel, plus community SDKs for Python, Go, PHP, Swift, Rust, Ruby, Java, and Elixir.

Key capabilities:

• REST API with webhooks for subscriptions, orders, license keys, and customer events
• Subscription management with free trials, upgrades, downgrades, and dunning for failed payments
• Built-in license key generation and management for software products
• No-code checkout links and embeddable overlays for any website
• Per-seat, usage-based, and recurring billing models
• AI-powered fraud detection across signups, logins, and refunds

Developers integrate Lemon Squeezy to monetize SaaS products, courses, plugins, and digital downloads without handling payment processors or tax filing. Teams use the API and webhooks to sync subscriptions with their database, provision access, and trigger automation. No-code checkouts suit creators who want to launch stores quickly, while the API supports deep integration with existing auth and billing logic.
