Paddle bundles tax and payouts. That is worth it until you want Stripe under your own account. 5% + $0.50 (plus MoR); monthly None typical (MoR billing). Paddle is usually SaaS billing; only move file products, not subscriptions you still need Paddle for.

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 with the AI store agent (Telegram on Pro). Nothing publishes until you approve.
Pro is €29/mo with 0% platform fees. Fee calculator.
