Paddle automatically calculates, charges, files, and remits the correct sales tax based on each user’s region, and it registers in over 100 jurisdictions. It also includes automatic updates to help stay aligned as regulations change, with security and compliance such as SOC 1 & SOC 2, GDPR readiness, and PCI-DSS.
Can I localize currency and payment methods to increase conversions?
Yes. Paddle offers localized currency and payment methods, automatically presenting the most relevant pricing and payment options for a player’s region, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Checkout can also integrate your brand while automatically showing the right language, currency, and payment options.

How does Paddle reduce fraud and chargebacks?
Paddle provides automated fraud protection on every purchase, actively combating card attacks and fraud. It also reduces illegitimate chargebacks by blocking and disputing them, helping you avoid unwarranted penalties.
Do I need to connect many systems to manage transactions and billing data?
No. Paddle is built around a unified payments infrastructure and provides consolidated transaction and subscription data in a single source of truth, reducing the need to manage multiple reporting and billing tools.
