About Paddle

Paddle is the complete billing and payments infrastructure for SaaS companies. As a merchant of record, Paddle takes on the legal responsibility for payment processing, tax collection and remittance, fraud screening, and chargeback management on behalf of its customers.

This means SaaS companies using Paddle do not need to register for sales tax in multiple jurisdictions, manage tax compliance, or handle the operational complexity of global payments. Paddle automatically calculates, collects, and remits VAT, GST, and sales tax for digital goods in 200+ markets.

Paddle serves over 4,000 software sellers globally and processes over $1 billion in payments annually. The acquisition of ProfitWell in 2022 added industry-standard subscription analytics, retention tools, and pricing intelligence to the platform.
