Description
Paddle is a billing platform for software companies that operates as a merchant of record, meaning it takes on responsibility for sales tax and VAT registration and remittance on the seller's behalf. It bundles payment processing, subscription management, hosted checkout, fraud protection, and failed-payment recovery into a single service. It is positioned for SaaS and digital-product businesses that want to outsource global tax compliance rather than manage it themselves.
