How to offload operational complexities so you can focus on growth | Andrew Davies - Paddle

Paddle is a payment infrastructure for SaaS companies. Instead of assembling and maintaining, securing, and paying for a fragmented payments stack, you do it all in one platform. It handles all payment routing, compliance, invoicing, tax collection, renewals, subscription management, reporting, and fraud protection. As a result, it ensures more revenue while remaining secure and globally compliant.
