Every route for Mexico

If you sell software or SaaS

1. Stripe is listed for Mexico. If you want to handle sales tax yourself, Stripe directly may fit; read the note in the table first.
2. Use a merchant of record that accepts Mexico. In our data: Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Dodo Payments, Creem and Gumroad. A merchant of record sells to your customers, handles sales tax and pays you out, so you don't need your own Stripe account (what a merchant of record is).
3. Paddle is software-only and subject to review; it pays monthly by wire transfer or Payoneer (see the Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy vs Polar vs Dodo comparison).
4. Polar lists Mexico for payouts through Stripe Connect Express, with manual withdrawals once your balance reaches the minimum for your payout currency ($10 for USD; some local currencies are higher, see Polar’s payouts page) (Polar payout countries).
5. Dodo Payments accepts Mexico: eligibility follows the country that issued your ID, with bi-monthly payouts and a $50-$100 minimum (Dodo Payments payout countries).
6. Compare fees and payout rules before you build: Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy vs Polar vs Dodo.
