Verdict
Paddle earns a high rank by operating as a Merchant of Record (MoR), uniquely simplifying international growth by handling all sales tax and payment compliance for its customers.
What customers praise
The all-in-one model radically simplifies operations, as Paddle takes on the liability for sales tax, fraud, and currency conversion.
What customers criticise
The transaction fees are higher than a traditional gateway/billing stack, and you have less direct control over the payment and checkout experience.
Best for
SaaS and software sellers who want to offload the complexity of global sales tax, payments, and compliance.
