Let Paddle Handle Sales Tax as Merchant of Record

Paddle is the seller on each transaction and collects, files and remits VAT, GST and sales tax for those sales.

Everything You Need to Sell With Paddle

Paddle handles foreign tax registration as Merchant of Record, card data stays off your server, and Paddle bills renewals for subscription products.

  • Merchant of Record

    Paddle is the seller of record, so it collects and remits VAT, GST and sales tax on these sales.

  • Hosted Overlay Checkout

    Buyers pay in a Paddle overlay on your store page, and card data goes straight to Paddle.

  • Subscription Auto-Billing

    Paddle bills subscribers each cycle, and each renewal appears as an order in your J2Commerce admin (requires the Subscriptions And Memberships app).

  • Saved Payment Methods

    Returning buyers see their saved card at checkout. One click to reuse it.

  • Cancel, Pause, Resume Controls

    With the Subscriptions And Memberships app, every subscription order gets Cancel, Pause and Resume buttons. Handle subscriber requests without logging into Paddle. Every action writes to the order history. Your support team handles everything in one place.

  • Full and Partial Refunds

    Refund any amount up to the order total from the order view, and the status and history update.

  • HMAC-Verified Webhooks

    Every Paddle event is signature-verified before it changes anything in your store.

  • Duplicate-Event Guard

    If Paddle sends the same event twice, the second one is ignored.

  • Sandbox and Live Modes

    Full credential isolation between test and live environments. Flip one switch to go live without changing another field. A warning on your J2Commerce dashboard shows while sandbox mode is on.

Sales Tax Handled by Paddle

As Merchant of Record, Paddle handles tax rates, registrations and remittance for the sales it processes.

  • VAT, GST and sales tax collected and remitted by Paddle for its sales
  • Tax changes handled by Paddle

Renewals for Subscription Products, Inside J2Commerce

Paddle charges each billing cycle, and with the Subscriptions And Memberships app the plugin creates and confirms a renewal order linked to the original subscription.

  • Paddle bills recurring charges on its own schedule
  • Renewal orders created in J2Commerce automatically
  • Cancel, pause, or resume from the order view — one click
  • Saved cards make repeat checkout a one-click event

Sell Worldwide With Paddle

Paddle handles sales tax as Merchant of Record, and you manage refunds, cancellations, pauses and resumes from one admin screen.

  • Hosted Overlay Checkout

Use Cases

SaaS Developer Selling Monthly Subscriptions Globally

You sell a productivity tool as a monthly subscription product with the Subscriptions And Memberships app, to customers in the US, UK, EU, and Australia. Before Paddle, you were manually tracking tax registrations, filing VAT returns in three countries, and handling card-update emails at midnight. With Paddle as Merchant of Record, every subscriber's tax is handled at checkout. Renewals appear in your J2Commerce admin automatically every billing cycle. When a subscriber emails to cancel, you click Cancel Subscription on their order and Paddle stops billing immediately.

Digital Downloads Store Expanding Into International Markets

A design asset store starts selling internationally with Paddle collecting and remitting tax on each order.

Agency Managing Multiple Joomla Clients With Mixed Order Types

An agency uses Paddle for clients selling one-time products, memberships and subscription products with setup fees, and pauses or refunds from the order view.
