Does Sellabo handle sales tax or VAT?
Sellabo is not a merchant of record: you are the seller, and the money lands in your own Stripe account. Turn on Stripe Tax in your Stripe account and Taxes in your Sellabo dashboard, and Stripe works out and adds sales tax or VAT at checkout where you are registered. Registering and filing stay with you. If you want another company to be legally responsible for tax, a merchant of record such as Lemon Squeezy or Paddle fits better, at a higher fee.
