Selling globally should be simple. Instead, it is tangled in cross-border complexity, and it is getting harder. Compliance, payment failures, tax risks... It all pulls you away from what really matters: your business. As a Merchant of Record (MoR), we manage your payments, taxes, subscriptions, and more so you don’t have to. And that doesn’t mean we just give you the tools to do it. We do it. → We take care of currency conversion. → We fight the chargeback. → We pay the taxes. With Paddle, global growth is yours. The risk, compliance and accountability are ours. Do less, grow MoR.

Shopify is the best-converting platform in the 🌎. Period. And… we can prove it. Today, we're sharing results from a Big Three global management consulting firm, and the data speaks for itself: "Shopify converts up to 36% better than the competition and 15% more on average" Not building with Shopify is now a competitive liability. shopify.com/enterprise/shopi…
