Top-3 FAQ
Is Lemon Squeezy just another payment processor? No. As your merchant of record it also files and remits global sales taxes, manages fraud and issues invoices—Stripe or PayPal alone don’t.
Do I pay anything if I make no sales? Nothing. Platform fees apply only when an order is processed; there are no monthly or hidden connector costs.
How long until I can start charging customers? Most founders connect Stripe/PayPal, add a product and embed checkout in under 15 minutes—no code required for basic flows.
