Europe-first

Europe isn't our expansion market.
It's home.

Other Merchants of Record treat Europe as an expansion market. For Vatly, it's home. That distinction shapes every decision we make.

GDPR-native from day one. Not a compliance checkbox. Your data lives in the EU.

EU-hosted infrastructure. Vatly runs on European servers. Your merchant data stays under EU jurisdiction and GDPR protection.

Sell globally with European payments built-in. iDEAL, SEPA Direct Debit, Bancontact, Sofort – first-class, not bolted on.

Powered by Mollie. Europe's leading payment service provider. 130,000+ businesses. Dutch engineering.

Headquartered in The Netherlands. Independent of US tech policy or political shifts. Your revenue stays under EU jurisdiction.

"We got tired of EU payments being an afterthought. Finally, a merchant of record that's actually built for how the EU works."

Social Proof

Founders who ship faster with Vatly

"We were spending two days a month on VAT filings alone. Vatly eliminated that completely. Now our finance team focuses on strategy, not spreadsheets."

Anna Kowalski
CEO, CloudMetrics (Berlin)

"The fact that Vatly is EU-based was the deciding factor. Our enterprise customers in Germany and France require EU data residency. No other MoR could offer that."

Marc Bouchard
CTO, DevFlow (Paris)

"Integration took half a day. We went from selling in 3 countries to 40+ overnight. The Mollie integration was seamless since we were already using them."

FAQ

Common questions

A Merchant of Record (MoR) is the legal entity that sells your product to end customers. Vatly appears as the seller on every invoice, taking on responsibility for tax compliance, fraud liability, and payment processing. You maintain full control over your product, pricing, and customer relationships while we handle the legal and financial complexity of global sales.

We register for tax in jurisdictions where your customers are located. We automatically calculate the correct rate at checkout, collect the tax, file returns, and remit payments to tax authorities. We're starting with EU VAT (all 27 member states) and UK VAT, with US sales tax, Canadian GST/PST, and Australian GST on the roadmap.

Vatly settles your earnings on a regular schedule (weekly or monthly, your choice). We collect payments from your customers, deduct our fee and applicable taxes, and transfer the remainder directly to your bank account. You get detailed settlement reports breaking down every transaction, refund, and tax amount.

Yes. Vatly integrates natively with Mollie as our primary PSP. If you're already using Mollie, the transition is seamless. We handle the payment flow through your connected PSP, so you benefit from the payment methods and rates you're already familiar with, including iDEAL, SEPA, Bancontact, and more.

Three key differences. First, Vatly is EU-headquartered, meaning your data stays under EU jurisdiction and GDPR protection. Paddle is UK-based (post-Brexit), and Lemon Squeezy is owned by Stripe (US). Second, we support Mollie as a PSP, giving you access to European-native payment methods. Third, we're built specifically for European SaaS businesses, not retrofitted from a US-first product.

Most teams are live within a few days. Our API is RESTful and well-documented, with SDKs for popular languages. For simpler setups, you can use our hosted checkout with zero code. We also offer dedicated onboarding support on the Growth plan to help you migrate from your current billing setup.
