Launched on August 28th, 2024
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!
Great payment solution! Been using it for the last 5 years and never had any issues.
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.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋🏼
Super excited to share what the Paddle team has been cooking up for the app community!
With the US App Store now open to external payments for in-app purchases, app developers are buzzing about the potential to avoid Apple’s 30% commission & significantly grow their margins.
But we’ve also heard that building new web infra for an external checkout and making it play nice with your app’s codebase isn’t easy.
So we raced to build two new tools that make it effortless to set-up your first external payment flow & connect it to your app - and trust me when I say this - the Paddle team has been burning the candle at both ends to get this shipped 🕯️
So what are we launching? Hosted Checkouts & our Checkout Starter Kit Vercel template:
🌐 Hosted Checkouts lets you build a web checkout right from the Paddle dashboard – no coding required. Just fill in a few fields and hit deploy. Paddle hosts the checkout on a custom URL that you can link to right from your app’s paywall.
⚙️ Checkout Starter Kit has all the code you need for a working web checkout, in a Vercel template. Extend or customize it as much as you like; then click “deploy” to go live – Vercel deploys it on your own domain, that you can link to from your app.
The best part is they’re both built on Paddle, so you also get the world’s best Merchant of Record automating away the pain of global payments.
Chargebacks? Fraud? Billing support? Global tax remittance? Paddle's got your back here (just like the App Store does) so you’re not stuck with a sudden burden when you add external payment methods, and become responsible for these things yourself :)
Excited to hear what the app community thinks! What should we build next?
