What is Paddle?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a merchant of record for our customers, taking away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, simpler, and much better. 5,000+ SaaS, AI and app businesses use Paddle to solve all their payments, tax and compliance needs. Because the world needs MoR.

Handling global payments, taxes, and compliance. Paddle took all of that off my plate. I tried to use LemonSqueecy but Paddle found easy to me to setup.

Paddle's all-in-one commerce platform has made handling payments, subscriptions, and most importantly global tax compliance effortless. With Paddle, we can focus on crafting an outstanding product experience while they manage the complexities of modern commerce. Thanks for keeping Kotae running smoothly and our users happy!

I've seen a ton of horror stories about chargebacks from customers ruining your business so I ended up switching from Stripe to Paddle last year. I was able to move all my subscriptions + customers pretty quickly. The support team actually helped with most of that. Recommend for all founders to do this!

Six weeks might be a bit short to truly incubate something game-changing, but Paddle has clearly done their homework. The support from heavy hitters like AWS and Google Cloud adds credibility, and the post-program community aspect could be a valuable lifeline.
