Yes, it sucks that it costs more. Yes, it sucks that I have more platform/vendor risk. Yes, it sucks that I can't use the platform I know best (Stripe).
But yes, it's worth it to know that if our efforts succeed and we grow a lot then we won't have to drop everything to get compliant with the 87 countries and countless local jurisdictions we've made sales in.
- lbhdc 3y agoCan you share which vendors you looked and which one you chose? Just curious what pros/cons you considered and who the right puzzle piece for you is :)
- thelittlegoat 3y agoWould you use something that's tax only, ie not payments like https://www.outpostnow.co/ https://www.outpostnow.co/? That way you wouldn't have to pay 6-10% from eg Lemonsqueezy.
