REALITY CHECK

Global sales trigger local rules

Your product can sell anywhere. Your obligations cannot. The first sale in a new region can create tax, invoice, and refund duties.

Ignoring it does not remove the liability. It delays it.

The things that quietly add up
Tax rules change by place
Rates and thresholds vary across countries and states.
Invoices are not optional
Fields and formats differ by region and buyer type.
Chargebacks stack up
Disputes can hurt your acceptance rates.
Audits come later
The risk is delayed, which makes it easy to ignore.
The simple fix

Put a legal seller in front of the transaction. That is what a Merchant of Record does.
