by Paddle · www.paddle.com

Checked 2026-10-17 on Paddle's own pages. Anything we could not confirm says “not verified”.

What is Paddle? Merchant of record for software: checkout, subscriptions, tax compliance and buyer support. One published rate per checkout transaction; custom pricing for high volume.

How an agent uses it: Official MCP server (PaddleHQ, Apache-2.0) with near parity with the Paddle Billing API (not Paddle Classic).

Best for: SaaS and app businesses that want a merchant of record with one flat checkout fee and an official MCP server.
