The problem
Existing Options & Trade-offs
Today, digital businesses choose between:
DIY tax compliance
- Time-consuming
- Risky
- Requires multiple registrations and filings
Merchant of Record Payment providers
- High fees
- Loss of Stripe
- Loss of customer and subscription control
Neither option is ideal once you scale internationally.
