Design concept by Goat Scale · Tilldrift is a fictional product. This is not a real company: no sign-ups, demos or payments are taken.

Merchant of Record for software

Sell globally. Grow without the complexity.

Tilldrift is the legal seller of your software. It registers, charges and remits sales tax and VAT wherever your buyers are, takes on chargebacks and fraud, answers your buyers' billing questions, and pays you out. One fee: 4.2% + 30¢.

What changes

Tilldrift is the seller on the receipt. So the sales tax, the VAT, the chargebacks and the fraud are Tilldrift's to carry, not yours. You build the product; Tilldrift sells it, remits the tax, answers the billing questions and pays you out.

A payment processor

Moves the money and leaves you as the seller: registering for VAT in Germany, sales tax in California, consumption tax in Japan, and filing in each one.

A Merchant of Record

Is the seller. It owes the tax, carries the fraud and chargeback risk, answers the buyer's billing questions, then pays you out.

For developers

<script src="https://cdn.tilldrift.example/v1/tilldrift.js"></script>
<script>
  Tilldrift.init({ token: "test_xxxxxxxxxxxx" });

  // Open a localized checkout: currency, tax and
  // payment methods resolve from the buyer's location.
  Tilldrift.checkout.open({
    items: [{ priceId: "pri_demo", quantity: 1 }],
  });
