I use Lemonsqueezy and don’t find it unnecessary at all. Yes, on one hand I’m not doing significant revenue - on the other hand, ignoring sales tax compliance rules is a bit like just not paying your income tax and hoping for the best. I take a stance that anything related to legal/payments needs to be done correctly “to the T” - I don’t want a disgruntled customer (obviously I’m going to provide good service, but some people are unreasonable) calling some government to complain about me and actually having a case because I’m not paying my taxes properly. Glad to eat a 5% revenue cut vs. 2.9% + 0.30 + extra stripe tax fees to not have to worry about any of this stuff. I don’t buy the author’s argument either, he says MoRs are worth it for single payments only but he “can’t justify it” for subscription payments - it’s literally the same thing. If you make 1000 subscription sales or 1000 single use sales the same amount of sales tax is being collected and it’s an identical situation.
