Paddle Payments

Paddle is a comprehensive payments infrastructure and revenue delivery platform designed specifically for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. Founded in 2012, it simplifies the complexities of global expansion by acting as a 'Merchant of Record.' This means Paddle handles international tax compliance, local payment methods, and subscription billing management on behalf of software developers and businesses.

Headquartered in London, the company has grown significantly to become a major player in the fintech space, particularly following its acquisition of ProfitWell. Paddle's operational model allows software companies to offload the legal and financial liabilities of global commerce, enabling them to focus on product development rather than regulatory hurdles in different jurisdictions.
