US fee posts often stop at Lemon Squeezy’s headline sale fee. That tape is not first cash, and it is not a confirmed rate on every ticket size. This page names the problem. It does not reprint Lemon Squeezy’s floors, hold days, or fee percentages. Recheck docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/getting-started/getting-paid and docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/getting-started/fees before you open an account. Not tax, legal, or accounting advice.
Lemon Squeezy’s getting-paid page describes when payouts are created, how long net sales are held, and when they are paid. It also publishes a minimum payout threshold. Under that threshold a payout stays pending and rolls forward. Read that page for the calendar, not a US blog’s per-sale tape.
The same page’s worked example is a sale early in the month that is not paid until later in the month. That is later than a platform that deposits at purchase. This guide does not copy the example dates.
The getting-paid page says bank payouts are made in USD, then converted if the destination currency is not USD. PayPal payouts are described as USD. Connecting a bank account may include identity verification. The fees page then lists payout fees on top of the platform fee, with a US row and an outside-the-US row. A Canadian bank account is not a US bank account on that table. This guide does not reprint those percentages.
Lemon Squeezy’s fees page tells sellers of lower-priced products to contact sales for custom pricing. This page does not invent a take-home on that unpublished rate. International card payments, PayPal, and subscriptions are separate add-on rows on the published table. Those add-ons still sit on top of a rate that is not confirmed for every ticket.
KeepCAD 2026 maps Lemon Squeezy’s payout clock, the published floor, and the non-US payout fees against Gumroad, Payhip, Polar, and Stripe Payment Links. It does not invent a Lemon Squeezy take-home where the fees page sends you to custom pricing. The sales page keeps one Discover versus Stripe teaser. The rest of the tape is in the zip.
