What Lemon Squeezy + PingBell does together
Lemon Squeezy is the Merchant of Record platform popular with indie software makers and digital product creators. Its webhooks fire on order_created, subscription_created, subscription_updated, subscription_cancelled, and subscription_payment_success. PingBell ingests these and broadcasts each event to every team screen.

Why PingBell beats the alternatives for Lemon Squeezy users
LS has a growing third-party ecosystem but few notification/broadcasting tools. PingBell is one of the first with proper webhook signature verification, MRR math for LS subscriptions, and native TV apps. For the indie-maker audience, the $10/mo Core plan is a natural fit.
FAQ
Does it handle LS’s tax-inclusive pricing?
Yes. LS webhooks include total, subtotal, and tax_total separately. You can configure the counter to track any of them.
Does it support Lemon Squeezy’s license key products?
Yes. License-key purchases fire order_created normally. You can include license details in the notification template.
What about subscription dunning / payment retries?
Lemon Squeezy fires subscription_payment_failed events; PingBell can display those on a separate “dunning” counter for the ops team.
Can I aggregate multiple LS stores?
Yes. Connect each store as a separate source.
Does it work for both digital and physical products?
Yes, though LS is primarily digital. The same webhook events fire.
