"A Reliable Payment Solution for Global Software Businesses"

5/5

What do you like best about Paddle?

The integration with Paddle was super easy. Their developer docs are thorough.

They have built Paddle Billing from scratch, after learning many lessons from the previous product - Paddle Classic.

Paddle Billing cover a wide range of scenarios, and has a robust data model that you can adjust to your needs.

It allows storing custom data on the different entities, so integration with your own service is easy. For example, storing references to your own users, products or accounts.

They solve all Tax issues in any country, and as they are the merchant of record, I get a single payment every once in a while which is easy to manage.

Their business-facing UI is easy to use and manage your customers and products.

They also provide buyer-facing UI so you don't have to write all the checkout UI, and all other pieces of customers-facing ui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

Pricing is a little high (5%), but reasonable.

Their support always answer, but sometimes it takes a while - a day or 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paddle solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my country I can't use Stripe. So this is the first problem that Paddle solved for me.

But after using them, I'm pretty glad that it came out like that because all of the benefits that I've mentioned.

They solve tax, and all of the complexities involved in subscription management. Including upgrades, downgrades, one-time purchases, usage-based billing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Tax Handling, But Lacks Subscription Flexibility"

3/5

What do you like best about Paddle?

I like that Paddle handles all global tax obligations and payment processing for Teslemetry.com. The integration with Profitwell metrics provides valuable insights into my monthly recurring revenue, cashflow, and trial conversion, which are really helpful. I appreciate how Paddle Retain helps lower my churn by adding an integrated cancellation flow and following up on delinquent payments. Setting up Paddle was easy enough, and the sandbox made testing simple. I've integrated the Paddle.JS SDK into my website and Paddle Node SDK into my backend service, which makes the process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

The structure of subscriptions is less flexible than Stripe, and I often have to design my products around Paddle rather than the other way around. Lemon Squeezy is more capable but also more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
