Paddle works as a Merchant of Record, like a middleman selling your product, that way they can collect sales Tax for you and pay it in the country in which your customer is a resident.
Stripe can calculate tax rates but you have to file in every country in teory. You can avoid it maybe until you get big but still some countries require you to do so. I think this will be more enforced in upcoming years.
Stripe is not available in every country. That may also affect your decision.
I am using Paddle but Stripe is not available in my country. I would have used Stripe otherwise.
How would you choose between Stripe and Paddle?
