> Rest assured, we’ll continue delivering the same fantastic product and reliability you’ve come to trust. We’ll be in touch as we work through this process with any updates as they come along. We’re excited about finding the best ways to combine Lemon Squeezy and Stripe. That sounds somewhat promising but not entirely committed.

I would much rather Stripe had bought it than PayPal. I'm still mad that they purchased Braintree and ruined it.

Same old pattern, M&A’s are normally destructive of the acquired firm’s value, but remove risk from the acquirer that something new and good is active in the market…

What will happen to the Merchant of Record feature now? Hopefully they still keep it. That was the best part of lemon squeezy

We will definitely keep it.

It's in fact the reason people love LemonSqueezy (though it uses Stripe under), due to simplifying a lot the VAT remittance.

Good to see M&A get back on track -- PC, whom I would trust much more than any living economist, must be somewhat positive about the near future? Congrats to the lemon squeezy team!

Why do you prefer M&A happening?

It's nice for start ups to have liquidity events.

Did Stripe get spooked by this?: https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/blog/guillermo-rauch-vercel-ceo

I'd be a little suprised. No one should take Guillermo's claims on things like performance as an unbiased fact. They do make some very impressive things at Vercel, but G is a salesman first and foremost.
