You can use Lemon Squeezy to sell software subscriptions, digital downloads, and licenses without setting up your own merchant accounts. The service acts as a merchant of record, handling global tax compliance, fraud detection, and multiple currencies automatically. You can build custom checkout pages, issue digital licenses, send marketing emails to your buyers, and recover failed payments through automated dunning emails. Developers can connect checkout flows directly to applications using webhooks and REST APIs while tracking recurring revenue, customer churn, and order values in a single dashboard.
