🤔 actually not bad, though not what I had in mind initially.
And I think demand can be easily validated by doing a manual process first. Quite niche, yes, but thinking about how many indie makers, designers etc are out there with their own portfolio sites… why not have an external tool handle your „about“ page?
I guess I‘ll put up a simple intake form and show it around. Maybe some people submit it, then I can try producing resumes manually, then slowly start automating stuff around it
Thanks! Yeah I also thought of that as an „upsell“ opportunity. Like, once a month is free, once a week is a couple $ …
Thank you! If I do that more often, I’ll upgrade my Reform account 😅
Hehe, I recorded them in Descript and actually already have the transcripts 🙈
Basically yes. In the EU it’s quite easy but I‘d not want the hassle of doing this for every singular other country 😅
So if not B2B I’d always opt for NOT having those sorts of headaches.
That said, MoRs like Paddle are typically more strict regarding the companies they do business for. There’s a screening process involved, etc etc
Stripe Tax collects the taxes for you but you still have to remit them yourself.
MoRs relieve that bureaucracy from you by also remitting them to the relevant authorities.
They’ll obviously charge you for that comfort though.
What @julianrubisch says @ben, I too use Stripe Tax. It's fairly easy with US, EU and UK, especially B2B where most of it is reverse charged.
But I was mainly wondering how others do this with countries outside these areas and B2C, as those rules are more strict it seems.
Dumb question, but I've never dealt with international ecom - when you say remit them myself, that means I need to log into some tax website for wherever my customers are located and pay the amount due at the end of the calendar year? If so, seems like a headache, maybe a minor one if whatever country is owed taxes has a good website.
...I'm probably getting way ahead of myself. I don't even have any customers yet so it's time to build vs. concering myself with taxes. I also already work with a CPA, maybe he can do that for me if I ever end up selling to international customers heh

Exactly! Focus, Style and structure would be the relevant variables
