Paddle is pretty bad. Support is bad in general, the API is bad, you never win a chargeback (you still have to worry about chargebacks). I wanted to try lemonsqueezy but now it's been acquired by stripe, so it will likely turn into another expensive Death Star.

MoR solutions are a good idea; the tax (F*K VATMOSS Europe) / accounting overhead is likely not worth it. Having a single B2B transaction whenever you want is much easier to deal with.

When your income is large enough that the % you'd be saving let you afford developer time to implement and maintain taxes / billing and extra for accounting of thousands of transactions, then go for it and switch to a cheaper solution.

Let's say you make 100k per year: the 2-3k you save on pure stripe won't pay for the extra developer / accounting time to maintain all that.
