Paddle: get paid without Stripe

Link: https://www.paddle.com

Paddle is a Merchant of Record: it is the seller, sends your customers compliant invoices, collects and remits sales tax and VAT in over 100 jurisdictions, and handles refunds and chargebacks. It works with software businesses almost anywhere except a short list of unsupported countries. Individuals and sole traders skip business verification (you still verify your ID and address). The fee is 5% + 50¢ per checkout transaction, with no monthly fee. Payouts go out monthly by wire transfer or Payoneer, minimum $100.

Before you apply, have these on your site: a product description, pricing, key features, terms, refund and privacy pages in the menu, and HTTPS. You can sell software and digital products (apps, SaaS, e-books, your own courses, plugins); consulting, coaching and physical goods aren't accepted.
