What Is "Paddle.net" on My Bank Statement?

Paddle.net is a billing platform used by software companies, game developers, and SaaS products. A Paddle.net charge means you purchased or subscribed to a software product.

Plain-English explanation

Paddle acts as a Merchant of Record for software companies. When you buy software, a game, or a SaaS subscription through a Paddle-powered store, 'Paddle.net' or 'Paddle' appears on your statement instead of the software company's name. Check your email for a Paddle receipt that names the actual product.

Most common reasons this appears

• Software license or subscription (productivity tool, antivirus, design app)
• Game or game add-on purchased through a Paddle-powered storefront
• SaaS or developer tool subscription renewal

How to verify this charge

• Check your email for a Paddle receipt — it will name the specific product.
• Visit paddle.com and use the receipt lookup tool.
• Search your email for 'Paddle' to find the subscription or order.

When to be concerned

• No Paddle receipt in your email.
• You haven't bought any software recently.
• Amount doesn't match any software subscription you recall.
