Ledger Brief Take
This is essentially a Stripe alternative that takes on tax liability as your merchant of record, which removes VAT/sales tax compliance headaches for digital sellers operating across multiple jurisdictions. The real value proposition is tax automation rather than invoicing features—it's built for SaaS founders and digital product creators who need global tax compliance without hiring specialists. If you're already handling tax compliance internally or selling physical goods, the merchant-of-record model probably isn't worth the switching costs.
