> I use Paddle for taking subscription payments for a paid Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io/).

I had a look at Paddle (only heard about it just today) and seems to have an advantage with their VAT offering, (I thought Stripe does this already for you)

How do payouts happen with Paddle in your experience? Stripe usually happens in a week for me.

Also can't seem to see pricing on any of their pages.

Last time I asked Paddle was 5% with $0.50 per transaction.

Fastspring is more expensive with more features, and Gumroad is cheaper with less features where both deal with sales tax like Paddle does.

I'd be curious at an estimate of the accountancy costs for dealing with sales tax yourself. I'm happy to pay for less admin and peace of mind, but obviously there'd be some point where it would be a cheaper to do it yourself.

Reliably once a month at the start of the month. Never had an issue.
