Paddle
Complete payment and subscription management for SaaS.
What is Paddle?
Try PaddlePaddle helps software companies sell online by handling payments, subscriptions, and downloadable products through a Merchant of Record model. It aims to reduce the time spent on billing plumbing while supporting global growth with checkout localization, tax/VAT compliance, and fraud monitoring. Paddle also provides an API-first developer experience for integrating payments and subscriptions into your product.
What does Paddle do for companies that sell software online?
Paddle helps you sell software and digital offerings worldwide by managing payments, subscriptions, and related back-office needs. It takes on merchant-of-record responsibilities like payments and compliance so you can focus on growing instead of coordinating multiple payment vendors.
How does Paddle’s checkout support global customers?
Paddle offers checkout with 29+ local currencies, 17+ languages, and local payment methods, along with localized pricing for regional spending habits. It’s designed to improve conversion when you expand into new markets.
How does Paddle handle sales tax, VAT, and compliance across regions?
Paddle registers, calculates, collects, and remits sales tax and VAT so you don’t have to manage tax obligations in every region. It also monitors transactions for fraud to help reduce risk for both you and your customers.
Is Paddle easy to integrate for developers?
Yes—Paddle is API-first, with documentation and developer tools that help you get set up in days, not weeks. It also supports API and webhooks so you can connect Paddle to your product and workflows.
What billing and subscription models can Paddle support?
Paddle Billing is built to support one-off purchases, add-ons, lifetime access, and multi-product subscriptions. This lets you structure billing around how your business sells and scales.
How can Paddle help reduce churn from payment failures?
Paddle is positioned to reduce failed payments and churn, and it provides ways to recover failed payments and support at-risk customers. It also includes real-time metrics so you can track performance over time, such as upgrades and downgrades.
