Paddle
Paddle is a payment infrastructure platform for software and SaaS companies. Unlike Stripe or Braintree, Paddle acts as the merchant of record — meaning Paddle handles sales tax, VAT, and compliance in every country, so the software company does not have to register for tax in dozens of jurisdictions. It manages subscriptions, one-time purchases, upgrades, downgrades, and refunds through a single API.
The n8n Paddle node and Paddle Trigger node let you connect payment events to the rest of your business systems. When a customer subscribes, upgrades, or cancels, Paddle fires a webhook that n8n can catch and act on — creating a CRM record, provisioning access in your app, sending a personalised onboarding email, or updating your internal revenue dashboard. When a payment fails, n8n can trigger a dunning email sequence or alert your customer success team.
This is especially valuable for SaaS businesses that need their billing events to stay in sync with their CRM, user provisioning, and analytics tools. Paddle’s built-in webhook system is reliable, but it only sends data — n8n provides the processing layer that turns those webhook payloads into actions across your other platforms.
If you sell software and use Paddle for billing, our sales automation team can help you build workflows that keep your payment data, CRM, and product access in sync without manual work.
