    I wouldn't recommend them to anybody because their support is getting worse and worse and their business processes require you to contact support whether you want to or not. You will be forced to contact support and then wait for days to get any meaningful response that's not a copy/pasted sentence from FAQ.

    Rainex is an easy-to-use platform. Guys have a great build clients support service. A very useful feature for us is a customer portal, that helps our clients to manage services without any integration!

    Pros
    Paddle
    • Super easy to implement SDKs across supported platforms that support modern interface paradigms.
    • Real team members that provide backend support for merchant issues. We had issues addressed quickly and taken seriously whenever we needed anything.
    • Help with navigating VAT transparently. We never worried that we were messing up in this complicated area of international sales.
    • Great first line customer support reduces the need for an extensive customer support organization on our end. They dealt with all purchase related issues as well as lightweight technical issues (e.g pointing users to FAQs, update links, etc.).

    Cons
    Paddle
    • Analytics could support more flexible analysis of reported data and better custom events.
    • More customization of the drop in purchase UI on the web without the need for a full custom site integration.
    • Sometimes communication from their front line support staff has gone to the wrong address.

    We tried using Stripe before Paddle, but it was a pain integrating it and it lacked the licensing. Paddle allows us just to add a payment button and don’t ever think about payment methods, we don’t have to make a separate button for card payments and another one for PayPal. Paddle does all this in their checkout process.

    Return on Investment
    Paddle
    • We wanted to grow faster, which was possible once we integrate recurring payment gateway. And we've got Paddle to do that.
