Global Checkout Localization for SaaS in 2026: How Local Payment Methods Boost Conversion by 51%
20% of customers abandon a purchase the moment they don’t see their preferred payment method at checkout. That’s not a UX problem. That’s a revenue problem — and it’s entirely avoidable. Paddle’s data makes the math brutal: enabling local payment methods increases checkout conversion from 4.3% to 6.5% — a 51% lift from a single

Sellfy vs Payhip vs Gumroad in 2026: Honest Fee Comparison for Digital Product Sellers

1099-K Rules for Digital Product Sellers in 2026: What the $20,000 Threshold Means for You
In July 2025, the IRS quietly ended a years-long saga. The $600 1099-K threshold — which had been delayed, phased in, then partially enacted — was killed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The threshold reverted to $20,000 in payments and 200+ transactions. If you sell digital products, courses, or SaaS subscriptions online,
