Six gateways.
Pick one, switch later.
A gateway is the company that actually moves the money. PaySlate connects your invoices to the one you choose, and changing your mind later does not mean rebuilding anything.
Who is the merchant
Two kinds of gateway.
With Stripe, Square, PayPal and Checkout.com you are the seller of record, so you handle your own tax. Paddle and Lemon Squeezy act as merchant of record and handle sales tax and VAT for you, in exchange for a higher fee.
