About Paddle

Paddle is a merchant-of-record (MoR) payment platform: it sells on your behalf and handles payments, sales tax/VAT/GST, invoicing, compliance, and renewals globally. Paddle handles the money and the tax; Enveu handles the OTT subscription layer — plans, entitlements, app access, and content gating — for a complete monetization stack from signup to content delivery.
