Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Been great so far
We wanted to be able to get to more users and to scale without having to worry about how we are going to receive payments from our users, also we wanted to implement the least amount of payment processors and don't have to worry about different country legislations. Paddle made this process easy for us, taking care of the legislations and VAT in the countries we offer our solution.

In my opinion, really bad seller support. Tickets open for nearly a month now with a
total of 4 responses of support. I think that the API is missing some crucial
information, same for the documentation. Implementation was easy enough, though not worth it in the long run. Fees are moderate.

They don't pay out vendors on time

I've been using their service for a few years and their support has gotten progressively worse up to the point where they don't pay out vendors on time. Getting any kind of meaningful response from support is borderline impossible and it takes them at least a day to respond even in the most trivial cases. They only have email support. No phone or live chat. My current ordeal has been going on for over 10 days and has gotten to the point where I did not get paid on time purely due to Paddle's negligence. I reminded them I plead, I was polite but that's not the way to resolve anything with them. If you need a reliable merchant of records avoid Paddle and find somebody else.

Paddle Review
Paddle is a used across Nice Mohawk's mac software titles and was used for analytics in additional mobile products. It presents an integrated sales experience for our customers along with a comprehensive backend that handles payments processing, subscriptions, analytics, and multiplatform SDKs. It 100% satisfies our sales pipeline management as an indie µISV. In particular, their attention to streamlining and optimizing the purchase experience for the customer is highly attractive when compared to the hamhanded interfaces of many other offerings in the space.

Great for macOS and browser extensions
We use Paddle in our browser extensions to provide in-app purchase functionality. We also use Paddle and DevMate integration to sell licenses for our macOS application. It handles trials, as well as blocking the app usage if the user didn’t provide a license. We also use Paddle for in-app analytics for our Mac App Store app to collect user behavior data.

Want to proceess recurring billing? Go with Paddle.
We started using Paddle for our recurring billing at Iconscout. Being an Indian startup it's difficult to get a recurring payment gateway, thus we opted for Paddle who provides this feature. Now, we're using Paddle for all our transactions.
