@cartemtune thanks folks! So Australia, New Zealand, and Japan seem to be the countries that I need to take a look at. I actually can easily unblock these countries on my store and set up custom tax rates on my store so I can at least collect the taxes, but I definitely need to do more research on how to remit them correctly. maybe after that then I'll start thinking about moving to an MOR if I need to. I'm just already so cozy here lol migrating platforms is so much work :')

@dannytaurus i'd love to see the comparison list please! :)

@dannytaurus which platform are you considering? Asking because I also used to be on Gumroad and have now switched to Payhip since their ridiculous price increase. Payhip is only 5% per sale and I'm also able to cap it at $99/month. I also just can't stand behind a company who relies on AI support agent, I coudl never get any real humans to answer my questions at Gumroad

@dannytaurus wow thanks for this detailed breakdown. So I guess there are some pros and cons here. I've personally blocked countries outside of US, CA, UK, and EU so I won't have to deal with sales taxes there but maybe I should also consider other countries in case they can provide substantial revenue.

Just curious, can any experienced sellers let me know whether it's worth opening up my store to the rest of the world? In my experience, most of my customers seem to come from US, CA, UK, and EU so I never felt like I'm missing out. I'd love to know before I decide to switch again because...it's a lot of work!

But the part about Payhip offering instant payouts (i.e. never holding funds) is another reason why I moved away from Gumroad. I feel better knowing that a platform can't suddenly take my money away . Gumroad has a minimum payout threshold of $100 (I assume because the platform needs to safeguard itself from refunds and chargebacks), but that part kinda sucks

has anyone tried KODA more comprehensively? would love a more in depth review!

Came here trying to learn something about instrument design and somehow ended up learning about decompiling laws and the current state of Claude

@lalalandsynth that's the one! perfection!
There's so much AI these days that my brain defaults to thinking "this is AI" with your previous designs, but this neutral one is fantastic
