What does not transfer from Paddle

Paddle is usually SaaS billing; only move file products, not subscriptions you still need Paddle for. Do not cut Paddle until remaining SaaS invoices are planned.

When Paddle is still the right tool

Stay on Paddle if you need them as merchant of record for tax. Quickshops uses Stripe Connect; you are seller of record.

If you move to Quickshops

Connect Stripe, upload the file, and the buyer downloads after payment. Change price or copy from AI store chat (Telegram on Pro). Nothing publishes until you approve.

Pro is €29/mo with 0% platform fees. Fee calculator.
