It made me really sad not to see the developers' avatars on the "About us" section. It seems they are not part of the team, but they're the ones answering questions here. Other than that, great product!
"Digital nomad", "sidehustler" or "freelancer" aren't actual jobs. What do these people even do? The actual developers are listed in the footer.

That's not true, there's a rather large minimum until you need to think about VAT. 100k EUR/year where I live.
Not since last year https://vat-one-stop-shop.ec.europa.eu/index_en
I'm a VAT payer and it's at minimum 15-20 incredibly complicated accounting forms per year, with harsh penalties for mistakes and missed deadlines. I would never be able to start doing business if I had to do this at the beginning, and I'm in the most lucrative market today - and I would never risk it too, the fines are damn huge.
Doing the forms costs me thousands of euro yearly even though my accounting is totally simple, I have just few invoices per month with just few line items.
As I said, this is why this place is failing business-wise.
As a creator of digital products: great site, congrats! As a consumer: PayPal only? I’m outta here. I don’t like my money randomly frozen on a whim. Are you folks planning to offer Giropay for the consumer side? That’s pretty much the only payment service I can use nowadays.
Thank you for the feedback. The Paypal integration was now for the MVP our first payment function. On the one hand because Paypal is the most important payment option in Germany and on the other hand because you can already pay via credit card with Paypal. However, we are working at full speed on the integration of other payment options. From purchase on account to topics like Giropay etc. and Crypto. Please give us…

I am working on a SaaS product with a friend that will be mostly a B2B (although it can work as B2C too) and besides all the tech, what I am afraid mostly is all the tax/money/stuff. I am not from Europe neither USA - I'd like only to get paid monthly for the service I provide. Is it difficult? If anyone can give some advice I'd be grateful.
> what I am afraid mostly is all the tax/money/stuff You shouldn't be afraid, you should pay a professional CPA and/or tax accountant to take care of all of that stuff for you. You wouldn't draft your own legal documents (I hope), correct? It's no different on the money side of things.
How does this differ from Gumroad?
Same for email marketing. I think there is room for tons of creator sales platforms without asking "How does this differ from Mailchimp?"
I think the #1 "product design" problem for these tools is customer trust with a brand you've never seen before.
I find Gumroad a little jarring instead of being in the background. Gumroad has been around long enough that it is now a brand that someone might have interacted with more than once through different creators, but I think that is a secondary use case.
1. How do you handle inner EU-vat free excemption (validation of tax numbers)?
2. How easy or hard was your KYC-integration? As payment processor in Germany I assume you are required for money laundering checks, or?
Great idea. However, I think you need to be careful in the VAT area not to overpromise: I selected “selling from Switzerland to Switzerland” and your calculator quoted a VAT of 0%, which is of course false (selling stuff in Switzerland requires deducting 7.7% VAT). My guess would be that you only cover VAT within the EU, but of course there are VAT regimes outside of the EU too; so “we also take care of VAT collectio…
I see the VAT complications discussed all the time online and figured this would be rather centralized by now
