Paddle is a payments and monetization platform for software vendors and SaaS companies. Founded in 2012 by Christian Owens, the company provides a full-stack solution for handling checkout, recurring billing, license management, and subscription payments. Based in San Francisco with offices in London, Paddle serves software vendors globally by simplifying payment processing and handling compliance and tax obligations across multiple jurisdictions. The platform has become a key infrastructure layer for independent software publishers and subscription-based businesses seeking to streamline their go-to-market operations without building complex payment systems in-house.
