What is a merchant of record?
A merchant of record is the company that legally sells your product to the customer. It charges the card, collects and remits VAT or sales tax worldwide, handles refunds and chargebacks, and pays you the rest. Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Creem, Dodo Payments and Gumroad work this way.
