Indie hacker here! Launching my first paid product and need to pick a payments provider.
The big players seem to be Stripe, Paddle, and LemonSqueezy but I have no idea which to choose:
- Stripe is the standard but dealing with taxes/invoicing is painful
- Paddle handles taxes for you but takes a bigger cut?
- LemonSqueezy seems like the indie-favorite but newer
What’s your experience? I’m based in the US if that matters. Thanks! 💪
Stripe gang represent! 💳
I know LS is popular now but Stripe is still the standard:
– More integrations
– Better docs
– Established, reliable
The tax thing is annoying but there’s now Stripe Tax (costs extra but works).
If you’re serious about payments, Stripe. The dev experience is unmatched. 🔥
