Stripe Managed Payments

JR Farr (Hacker News):

At Stripe Sessions, we announced something we’ve been quietly crafting for months: Stripe Managed Payments — a new merchant of record experience, built directly into Stripe and launching this summer in private preview.

This is a big step forward. Stripe Managed Payments is designed to handle all the heavy lifting for digital businesses from sales tax and fraud prevention to global compliance and customer support. Simply put, you can focus on growing your business.

It’s everything you love about Lemon Squeezy, now built in Stripe.

Here’s the documentation. It doesn’t seem to say what the pricing is.

Managed Payments is strictly for cancer subscription apps:

> Eligible products: Software and SaaS _sold through a subscription based pricing model_

I asked its AI: "Can Managed Payments be used for selling software licenses that charge a one-time payment?"
It replied: "Managed Payments does not currently support one-time payments for digital products like software licenses during the private preview period."

Its docs and AI say that Lemon Squeezy is their solution for selling one-time software licenses.
