Paddle

Paddle is a payments and billing platform for companies that sell software, apps and digital products. It works as a Merchant of Record, which means Paddle legally sells your product instead of you. It's run by an established company serving thousands of SaaS businesses worldwide and suits everyone from a solo founder with their first app to a larger team with global customers.

Here's how it works: a customer buys through a nicely localized checkout, Paddle takes the payment in their currency, calculates and remits the correct VAT, GST or US sales tax for that country, and pays you the net amount. Instead of dozens of tax filings across different states, you get one payout and one report. Paddle handles both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions.
