I'm building boathouse.pro which offers Add-Ons for Paddle Billing (that's a SaaS subscription billing provider that takes care of taxes which I'm betting on).

Currently I already have customer portals, embeddable pricing tables with automatic currency conversions and cancellation insight forms. If everything goes well this week I'll have some cool new email features.

What is Paddle billing?

[–] dualalex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Paddle is a payment provider. You may have heard of Stripe, Paddle does similar things but in a different way (what they call a Merchant of Record, so basically they just handle a lot of stuff on your behalf, like sales tax).

Paddle Billing is their newest platform (they call the old one Paddle Classic now) and it's just a big upgrade basically. Unfortunately it also meant all the people building software on top of them like my project had to implement everything from scratch - but I personally like the new APIs from a developer perspective, so happy they did.
