Why choose Paddle for
external payments?
We give you MoR.
Standard Payment Service Providers (PSPs) aren’t set up to handle all of the operational burden of selling apps on the web. Managing payments, fraud prevention, refunds and chargebacks, buyer support, and sales tax now becomes your direct responsibility.
As a Merchant of Record (MoR), Paddle handles the entire sales process end-to-end for you. So, just like the App Store, we take care of payments, refunds and compliance without any additional effort on your part.
All for a single, transparent fee and no hidden costs.
