Paddle

Overview

Paddle is a merchant of record — it handles payments, tax compliance (VAT, sales tax), invoicing, and fraud protection. Unlike Stripe, you don't need to register for tax in every country. Paddle sells on your behalf and remits taxes globally.

      items: [{ priceId, quantity: 1 }],
