Fall 2024 product updates

Welcome to our Fall 2024 product update roundup. Here we take a moment to look back and celebrate the recent feature and product updates that have shaped our story over the past quarter.

Frictionless checkout and customer portal management

Boost conversions while giving buyers greater visibility and control over every purchase, from start to finish.

Our Dashboard and payments team has been working on enhancements designed to boost conversions while giving buyers greater visibility and control over every purchase, from start to finish

Our new One-Page Inline checkout is now ready for our Paddle Billing customers to try. This modern, streamlined experience is designed to reduce the steps required for your buyers to complete their purchases.

  • Be one of the first to experience our user-friendly interface, crafted to enhance the customer experience.
  • Help to reduce cart abandonment by simplifying your checkout process.
  • Streamlined checkouts can lead to faster transactions and higher conversion rates.

Customer Portal - give your customers more control

Due to popular demand, we will soon be launching our Customer Portal for all Paddle Billing users. This will provide your customers with full visibility and control over their subscriptions and purchases, eliminating the need for you to manage subscription lifecycles. 

Speedy purchasing with Saved Payment Methods

We’ve now made it easier and simpler for your returning customers to pay for your products at checkout. Our new Saved Payment Methods feature for Paddle Billing customers, eliminates the need to manually enter payment details again, making conversion just a single click away.

Expansion into the
APAC region

We’re going further to optimise the payment experience for our users in this market.

Our goal is to create a frictionless and familiar experience for buyers, this means not only integrating region-specific payment methods, but also ensuring seamless, fast, and secure checkouts, tailored to local preferences and expectations.

Alipay for subscriptions

We're very excited to announce that we are expanding our Alipay offering and will soon have Alipay available for subscriptions as well as one-time payments. This has been a long-awaited request from our customers, and we’re delighted to finally deliver in Q4 2024

Localised payments for South Korea

In line with the growth we are seeing in APAC, we're currently conducting discovery work on Korean payment methods, with several of our customers trialling 22 domestic cards and 4 alternative payment options, including KakaoPay, Naver Pay, Samsung Pay, and PayCo. 

Expand to even more global markets

Our ambition as a merchant of record is to actively expand our customers' global coverage to serve the widest range of audiences and regions possible.

Let your dollars go further: FX-free local currency payouts in AUD & CAD

We have increased our payout currencies to include Australian and Canadian dollars. Paddle customers based in Australia and Canada can now receive funds in their local currency without incurring foreign exchange (FX) fees.

  • Save on costs associated with currency conversion and retain more of your revenue.
  • Be protected from currency fluctuations and associated risk for greater financial stability and predictability.
