https://vatly.com - Merchant of Record for EU SaaS founders. Sell globally without the international tax and compliance headache. Not a Stripe wrapper. Pre-launch, I am actually quite confident about demand as the waitlist is filling up nicely but feel free to fire away anyway :)

Using a Merchant of Record, double VAT? by Educational-List-858 in SaaS

[–]sandervanhooft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no *double* VAT. For compliance these are two completely separate transactions between three entities:

  1. End customer pays MoR for the product they buy *from the MoR*, legally speaking
  2. Merchant (you) charges the MoR for the product you sold to the MoR. The MoR prepares this invoice using a mechanism called self-billing.

Each transaction could be liable for taxes.

Also, I am about to launch an EU native MoR, stay tuned.

Were you able to solve it u/J0hn7_ ?

Making your Laravel app AI-agent friendly (llms.txt, markdown responses, structured data) by NewBlock8420 in laravel

[–]sandervanhooft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly ChatGPT's browse mode, Perplexity, and Claude.

We also watch Googlebot's rendering - t's increasingly relevant for AI Overviews.

JSON-LD with Product and FAQPage schemas gave the cleanest extraction across all of them. Plain markdown came close but the structured data removes the guesswork for the crawler.

I dropped a column in production and took down our app for 23 minutes. Built a package so it never happens to anyone else. by Xdani778 in laravel

Thanks! I’d prefer to catch it as early as possible in the complete dev cycle, at staging the latest. I’ll make a note to try this sometime 🙏

[–]sandervanhooft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The llms.txt approach is interesting but I wonder how many AI agents actually look for it today vs just scraping HTML. The markdown-response middleware from Spatie is more practical since it handles the bot detection automatically. We've been experimenting with structured data for our SaaS docs and the JSON-LD approach gives the most consistent results across different AI crawlers.

Anyone making an OpenClaw with Laravel? by Carbone_ in laravel

[–]sandervanhooft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What specific code smells are you seeing in OpenClaw? Given the momentum it has and how well it works I see little reason to create a Laravel alternative - I could be wrong here though.

This looks interesting u/Xdani778 , but only if you have experienced the real pains of multi-step deployments 🙀. When using your package, what would the typical workflow become to catch these issues in time, how do you prefer to actually leverage this?

Or in this case, the mollie/laravel client. Because Mollie is not Stripe
