Payment Review

Paddle Review: Revenue delivery platform for SaaS — payments, subscriptions, and compliance in one.

Paddle is like having a payments team in a box. As a Merchant of Record, they handle tax, compliance, invoicing, and subscriptions globally. The trade-off is the 5% fee and less flexibility than a raw Stripe integration. Best for SaaS that wants to focus on product, not payments.
