EBANX Guide: Latin American Local Acquiring, Tax IDs, and Settlement Paths

The biggest barrier to collecting in Latin America is not payment technology but local tax ID and invoice requirements. A local acquirer such as EBANX uses a local entity and local settlement path so overseas sellers without a local tax ID can sell at all. Who files tax and who issues invoices still has to be written into the contract. This guide covers positioning, onboarding, settlement paths, fee composition and common misreadings.

Merchant of Record Platforms Compared: Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, and Building It Yourself

A merchant of record platform takes on the legal responsibility for worldwide sales tax and VAT, sparing digital product and SaaS teams from building a tax function. The trade-off is a higher effective rate, less control, and platform-side compliance review. This article explains how MoR differs from acquiring and tax tools, and compares the main platforms with the self-built route.

Compare those three things at once and the typical outcome is buying a billing platform only to find chargebacks still land on you, or choosing an all-in-one for convenience and losing invoicing control. This article opens five platforms up along three boundaries.

Treasury Architecture for Platforms: The First Decision Is Whose Account the Money Lands In

Platforms usually start payment selection with which provider is cheapest and which channels it supports, but everything downstream is fixed by an earlier question - whose account the money lands in. That single decision locks onboarding eligibility, fund path, invoicing entity and tax jurisdiction, and changing it later means rebuilding. This article compares four treasury architectures and explains why cross-border is harder than domestic.
