We wanted to let you know that we have implemented a mandatory update to comply with local German laws: The checkout button on purchases made in Germany for any subscription products is now labelled in German has 'jetzt kaufen' (translated in English to 'buy now') for clarity and adherence to legal requirements. The checkout button remains unchanged for one-time purchases.
This update is automatically applied to localised German checkouts whenever a customer makes a purchase from a German IP address. Additionally, customers can preselect a German checkout even if they are located outside of Germany at the time of purchase.
Ensuring compliance with German legal standards is crucial for businesses operating in the region to avoid penalties or disputes relating to a purchase/subscription. As a Merchant of Record, Paddle prioritises the safety of our sellers and actively implements changes to maintain compliance with local laws and regulations.
This update has been rolled out across both Paddle Classic and Billing products.

Paddle is focused on being a platform built to support developers and development teams. As such we have been working on creating SDKs (Software Development Kits) to help streamline and enhance the development process by providing pre-built tools, libraries, and resources. We are pleased to announce that we have just released two SDKs for the following programming languages:
NodeJS
PHP
If you, or your development team are using PHP or NodeJS you can save a huge amount of integration resources by using one of our SDKs. You would also save valuable developer time on an ongoing basis as updates to the SDK make it easier to keep up with improvements we make to the Paddle platform.
To find out more about our SDKs and tools, see below:
And there’s more to come, we’ll keep you posted as we release more SDKs across programming languages in the coming months.
