Highlights
- Yesterday @gumroad announced to 3x their fees.
Many creators are leaving (including me).
Here are 10 best platforms/solutions to look at:
(View Tweet) - First of all, let’s talk about merchant of record. A merchant of record can handle the complexity of VAT compliance on behalf of a company. This can include tasks such as calculating and collecting VAT, filing VAT returns, and keeping accurate records of VAT transactions. (View Tweet)
- Handling VAT from multiple countries take a lot of time and money so look at merchant of record as additional bonus. Not all platforms/solution offers this. (View Tweet)
- Additionaly some of these platforms bellow have integrated Stripe and PayPal payment, which can cost you an additional 2.9% + 30¢. So, before deciding to switch, double-check the transaction fees (View Tweet)
- I also divided these platforms/solutions into 3 categories:
- E-commerce platforms. Platform that you don’t own.
- Custom e-commerce platforms. Platforms that you own.
- Payment links. Link to checkout page. (View Tweet)
- And lastly. There are numerous other solutions available online, but these are the platforms/solutions I would recommend to others. Okay, let’s get started. (View Tweet)
