Summary:
Lemon Squeezy adds usage-based billing and portal
Why It Matters:

What Changed:

- Launched a "Customer Portal" so buyers can manage their own subscriptions.
- Introduced a new navigation menu with dedicated sections for Platform, Features, and Resources.
- Added "Compare" pages specifically targeting Gumroad and Paddle users.
- Updated the homepage to highlight their role as a "Merchant of Record" more prominently.
- Announced a reduction in payout fees for sellers.
