Merchant of Record and Tax of Record platform — local entities per market, full audit liability, and 25–40% higher payment approval rates.
Merchant of Record platform that sells through dedicated local entities per market, taking on tax and compliance liability while unlocking local payment methods like PIX and UPI.
Outpost provides Merchant of Record and Tax of Record infrastructure, enabling businesses to sell globally while Outpost assumes all legal, tax, and compliance liability. By establishing dedicated local entities in each target market (rather than pooling merchants together), it unlocks region-specific payment methods like PIX (Brazil) and UPI (India), with approval rates 25 to 40% higher than shared MoR providers.
The Tax of Record service handles VAT, GST, and Sales Tax registration, real-time calculation, and filing across LATAM, EU, USA, and APAC, with Outpost accepting full audit liability and covering any penalties incurred. AI-powered compliance monitoring continuously tracks regulatory changes and adjusts processes automatically.
Key benefits:
- Dedicated local entities per market instead of pooled merchant structures

Outpost operates across LATAM, EU, USA, and APAC jurisdictions, establishing legal entities in each market to maximise payment performance and compliance coverage.
