Paddle
Complete payment and subscription management for SaaS.
What is Paddle?
Try PaddlePaddle helps SaaS companies sell globally by handling payments, subscriptions, and key back-office administration through a Merchant of Record setup. It’s designed to remove the heavy lifting of expanding into new markets, including local payment options, languages, currencies, and sales tax compliance. The result is faster international growth with fewer payments integrations and less operational overhead.
What does Paddle do for SaaS companies trying to sell globally?
Paddle manages the payments, subscriptions, and related operational needs that come with selling software internationally, using a Merchant of Record model. Since Paddle is set up to handle things like tax collection and remittance, you can focus on growth rather than coordinating multiple payment and compliance pieces.
How does Paddle help you offer local checkout experiences to international customers?
Paddle lets you sell in local languages, currencies, and payment methods so customers can buy the way they prefer. This is intended to boost payment acceptance while also minimizing FX fees as you expand.
How does Paddle handle sales tax compliance when expanding to new countries and states?
Paddle deals with your sales tax liability by collecting and remitting sales tax, so you don’t have to track shifting software tax regulations across markets. The goal is to reduce the risk and effort that come with staying compliant.
Will Paddle reduce the engineering work needed for payments infrastructure?
Yes. Paddle positions itself as a single payments infrastructure solution so you can expand into new markets with a few clicks on the dashboard, without new payment integrations or ongoing extra management and maintenance.
Is Paddle set up to operate as a Merchant of Record?
Yes. Paddle says it’s already a Merchant of Record where needed, with incorporation, a local bank account, tax registration to collect and remit taxes, and integrations with popular local payment gateways.
Is Paddle easy to use for a team that wants to launch in new markets quickly?
Paddle is built to support faster global growth by minimizing administrative and financial headaches. With a centralized approach to payments infrastructure, taxes, and subscription management, teams can focus on launching and scaling instead of stitching together multiple providers.
