Case Study: Outseta achieves global tax compliance and scalable growth with Stripe Tax

Outseta selects Stripe Tax over merchant of record to manage global tax compliance

Outseta, founded in 2016, built an all-in-one platform for subscription startups but lacked tax compliance capabilities, creating concern for its customers and putting the company at risk as it grew. It also lost business to merchant-of-record providers and other billing systems with integrated tax tools. To solve this, Outseta chose Stripe Tax over a merchant of record model for its own and its customers’ global tax compliance needs.

Stripe Tax was integrated with Outseta’s existing Stripe Connect and Payments setup, enabling automatic sales tax, VAT, and GST handling with a few clicks. With Stripe, Outseta can now monitor tax thresholds in the Dashboard, track obligations across 32 countries and 50+ other geographies, and avoid the higher costs and platform risk of MoR. The result is a simpler, more scalable compliance process, stronger customer trust, and more time for Outseta to focus on growth.
