Huge problems with Paddle, any alternatives?

I'm selling a developer tool (https://httptoolkit.tech), which as far as I can tell is exactly the kind of thing that Paddle is supposed to support.

This week though just before the paid launch, they've silently closed my account with no notice, and now (a few days later) they'v

    Update: they've sent me an email after hassling them a lot, and this was 'due to a technical error'.

    Great for now I guess, but holy shit you can't just shut down people's businesses with no notice, by accident. This is crazy.

    Try FastSpring. It's an identical service, slightly more expensive.

    Hi Tim,

    You can refer to this thread over my experience with Paddle. https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/beware-of-braintree-91a9ccfa7d

    "In my experience using paddle for draftss.com, we tried moving to Paddle last month and received a confirmation from their support team that we can start using paddle for our services and start billing the customers instantaneously and there was no need of any further verification. Everything was proper and started billing our customers. We added the products successfully and sent it to few of our clients. After receiving paid subscribers, almost after 10-12 days later the subscriptions were cancelled stating that Design falls under Human services, which they do not allow on their platform. This comes after confirmation from the paddle support team even before signing up for Paddle. We're glad that we didn't move all our customers in a single go."
