Where checkout changed

Lemon Squeezy sales tax documentation explains tax handling for digital products and regions, which makes tax visibility a buyer-facing concern.

A short FAQ can clarify whether tax is included, when it appears, which regions support invoices, and how refunds treat tax.

Do not trust one conversion number

The useful question is no longer whether a purchase happened; it is which step created the hesitation, missing fact, or measurement gap.

Check the event model

  • Add four FAQ rows: when tax appears, invoice access, supported regions, and refund handling
  • Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work

What still needs proof

Tax shown only at checkout makes international buyers question final price and purchase compliance. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
