# Freemius

A merchant of record service that handles payments, subscriptions, and tax compliance for software vendors.

**Route:** surfaced by the online payment acceptance lane's de-branded queries → dependency to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Stripe is named as a limitation the buyer faces — 'Stripe limits where you can sell' — and the page presents Freemius as the layer that removes that constraint, implying the anchor is infrastructure Freemius sits on top of or replaces.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Merchant of Record for Software

> Stripe limits where you can sell

**Edges:**
