Processor or merchant of record?

Stripe, PayPal and Whop are payment processors — they move money and you stay the legal seller, which means sales-tax registration and filing in every market you sell into. Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Polar, Creem and Dodo are merchants of record: they become the seller, absorb global tax compliance and chargebacks, and charge a higher rate for it. The fee gap on this page is the real price of that tax work — the right choice depends on your volume and where your buyers are.

Rates are each provider's published schedule as of October 2026 and stay editable in the calculator — confirm current numbers on the official pricing pages before deciding.

I'm a marketer, not a full-time developer. Supastack brings auth, workspaces, billing, BYOK AI, email and themes together in one codebase. The AGENTS.md and prompts help me start building with Claude Code without learning every corner of the repo. Solid base for AI SaaS.

pnpm verify:local, the theme packs and the block library helped me restyle my whole marketing site quickly. The kit is easy to work with.

While building Skin Profile, I could see how auth, billing, jobs and the AI router are configured. It feels complete.

Start building
I'm building Lixing, a local-first reflection app. I ran the monorepo on Windows and pulled four patterns into my app: config, secure license storage, entitlements and a paywall. The port passed 26 tests behind a feature flag before touching production. I don't need auth or billing today, but I know where to look when Lixing needs a backend.

I'm using Supastack for my app's backend now. I wish I'd had it from the start. It would have saved me even more work.

I went through the repo in depth and ran the Rust tests. Few boilerplates ship a desktop option, so Supastack feels like a dream come true. The boundaries are written down and the code honors them — the desktop app never forks the web app's UI or auth.

I'm not a coder, but Supastack's extensive documentation has taught me so much. I'm already building a landing page for my site, cutviee.com, even though I started with zero coding knowledge. It's truly beginner-friendly.
