Merchant of record

Paddle is in steady billing-platform polish — tax expansion, admin self-serve, and a paddle.net buyer portal.

◆Current state
Paddle is shipping small but operationally relevant updates across its merchant-of-record stack: license keys and subscription self-management moving to paddle.net for buyers, admin-initiated 2FA resets from the dashboard, refreshed Retain payment-recovery UI, CLP and PEN currency support, and Ivory Coast VAT. The update feed itself is noisy — single announcements are scraped from multiple sources, so the same item appears as several entries.
◆Where it's heading
The product is in late-platform mode: incremental geographic coverage (currencies, tax jurisdictions), buyer- and admin-side self-serve, and dunning UX polish. No directional moves are visible — Paddle is widening its MoR footprint and reducing support-ticket load rather than entering new product surfaces. The paddle.net buyer portal absorbing license keys and subscription management hints at a longer-term migration from email- and ticket-based buyer support to self-serve.
◆Prediction
Expect continued one-jurisdiction-per-fortnight tax/currency additions and another paddle.net buyer-portal capability (likely receipts, downloads, or refund requests). More admin self-serve dashboard features follow the 2FA-reset template.
