Our take
Software as a service (SaaS) is becoming the dominant way for new companies to sell their products. However, there are many interlinked tasks that can be used to build a great business. For example, setting up trials and licences, insights and analysis, payment gateways, taxes, and internationalisation.
Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure so that fast-growing companies don't need to deal with this complicated puzzle. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, it acts as a Merchant of Record for customers, removing the pain of payment fragmentation.
Now serving over 4,000 customers, and having entered the unicorn club in 2022, the company has clearly found its share of success. By handling payments and compliance, Paddle lets companies focus on scaling without operational headaches, positioning itself as a key player in SaaS infrastructure management.
