Paddle Billing

What Paddle Billing is

Paddle Billing is web-based software for online payments and recurring billing. It supports recurring invoices, recurring payments, payment reminders, and a client portal. Billing can use multiple currencies, with 30 currencies supported, while tax calculation is automatic. Local payment methods are available, and Paddle acts as the merchant of record. Checkout is offered in both checkout modes. The Pay-as-you-go plan charges 5% + 50¢ per Checkout transaction and lists no migration fees, monthly fees, or hidden extras. Paddle Billing has no free plan and uses a paid model. Paddle was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The product is available on the web.
