Good post on the technical side.

But, regarding Stripe, after all the pain of integrating it, you discover that you have to handle tax hell in some way, and as a solo developer or a small team for a new SaaS that is almost unmanageable. And than you either break the law and hope for the best, or move to something like Paddle.

Tax Hell = Needing to charge VAT for all customers from Europe and pay it back to respective countries, but there are nuances and exceptions. Some other countries have other schemes. And US has tax nexus laws per state.

Interesting point this is something we don't really look for when we do this payment stuff on website.
(tutorial's authors didn't spoke about that, lol)
