When to Use Paddle
Good fit if you need
- ✓ SaaS needing Merchant of Record for global tax compliance
- ✓ Want to avoid sales tax headaches (Paddle handles it)
- ✓ B2B SaaS selling globally
Not the best choice if
- ✗ Marketplace/platform payments — Paddle is seller-focused
- ✗ Need deep payment customization — limited vs Stripe
- ✗ Physical goods or non-SaaS
Consider instead: stripe, lemon-squeezy
