Who we are: GetPaidAtlas is an independent guide, not a payment provider. We never receive, hold or move anyone's money, and we don't process payments. We link to each platform's own official page, so you apply with them directly. We have no affiliate relationship with Lemon Squeezy.

Lemon Squeezy is a merchant of record: it sells your product, handles sales tax and VAT, and pays you the net amount. Whether you can use it depends on one thing, in Lemon Squeezy’s words: you need to be able to "get paid into a bank or PayPal account located in one of our hundreds of supported countries". This guide sets out the payout rules from Lemon Squeezy’s own docs and our status for every country.

Lemon Squeezy payout methods
