> Is there a reason to choose LemonSqueezy over Stripe if you are located in the US? There hasn't been a single VAT-compliance case to my knowledge and the need for MoR is unclear.
It's not just the EU that charges VAT (or VAT-like taxes).
Most countries (and in the US's case, subregions within) charge some form of sales tax that's a pain to manage yourself if you're not a huge operation.
Always good to comply with tax laws (if not for the obviously good moral/ethical reasons, then definitely for legal reasons!)
