We've been looking at this recently as well and have been considering switching to Paddle. It seems to solve all of our sales tax issues (and other challenges like selling in India or the EU in general) in exchange for about double the fees, which in our case seems worth it. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on Paddle specifically. I've heard about Quaderno and Taxamo as well, they seem to go on top of Stripe and PayPal, but I haven't looked at them closely and have read that the additional cost ends up being similar.

> Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on Paddle specifically. Let me know if you've got any specific questions. Out of the services providing sales tax help, I partly went with Paddle because Fastspring was more expensive + more complex and Gumroad didn't seem geared towards SaaS team based products. When I make a sale, Paddle automatically deduct a percent of it for country specific sales tax and aside from that I don't have to give it another thought. They give you the option of adding the sales tax on top of the product price as well if you want. For integration, generally you would add Paddle's JavaScript checkout UI to trigger when you click on buy buttons (which is what I do on https://www.checkbot.io/ https://www.checkbot.io/) and on completion a webhook from Paddle will pass on the details of the new subscription to your own endpoint to e.g. create a new user on your server and send an email.
