About Paddle
Paddle acts as merchant of record for software companies: it sells your product to the customer, collects and remits VAT and sales tax everywhere, manages subscriptions, dunning and refunds, and pays you the net, monthly or twice monthly. Fees are 5% plus 50 cents. It suits SaaS and desktop software with international customers who would rather not run a tax department.
Pros
- One integration for global tax compliance, billing and subscription management
- Trusted by established software companies
Cons
- Onboarding is selective and can take weeks
- Monthly payout cadence
