Lemon Squeezy is a merchant of record for SaaS billing, licensing, and tax compliance. FeedbackFirst is the validation platform you use before and after you add billing — to ensure users actually stay past the free trial.
What Lemon Squeezy handles
Lemon Squeezy abstracts payment processing, global tax compliance, and license management for SaaS products. It removes the billing infrastructure burden from founders.
Why validation comes before billing
Turning on paid plans before product-market fit accelerates churn. Users who pay expect a polished experience. Structured feedback before you add billing helps you fix the gaps that would otherwise drive cancellations.

- Validates that the key value actions work reliably for new users.
- Generates testimonials and social proof that strengthen your paid landing page.
The right sequence
