The rates table lists each figure with the page it was read from.",{"question":58,"answer":59},"What does Stripe Managed Payments cover, and what does it not?","It covers sales tax, VAT and GST in the countries Stripe supports, from calculating the tax to filing and paying it over, along with fraud screening, dispute handling and payment support for your buyers through Link. It does not cover the fee for receiving a dispute, Stripe Billing, local payment methods, support for your product, or tax where Stripe cannot take on the liability, such as domestic sales in Japan.",{"question":61,"answer":62},"Who can use Stripe Managed Payments?","Businesses based in the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan or Singapore that sell fully automated digital products, such as SaaS, software, digital media or online courses, directly to buyers. Stripe reviews each account first, and Connect platforms cannot use it.",{"question":64,"answer":65},"Is Stripe Managed Payments cheaper than Lemon Squeezy, Paddle or Polar?","It depends on your numbers.

Enter your price, volume and share of non-US cards above to see the ranking for your sales.",{"question":67,"answer":68},"Can I use Stripe Tax with Managed Payments?","Not on the same sale. Stripe has you remove automatic tax from a Managed Payments checkout, because Managed Payments calculates and withholds the tax itself. Stripe Tax is the only tax tool it works with, for the sales where Managed Payments cannot take on the tax, and Stripe waives its calculation fee on those.",{"question":70,"answer":71},"Does Stripe Managed Payments work with subscriptions?","Yes, through Stripe Billing, as long as each subscription starts in a Managed Payments Checkout Session or Payment Link.
