Christian, founder of Paddle here. There are a few things I’d like to try and clear up possible misunderstandings around.

Paddle has been a long-term supporter of Mac apps for many years (including CleanMyMac, Framer, Tower and more) and we’re excited about the prospect of supporting iOS apps as well – something we’ve not been able to do so far.

We’re heavily invested in keeping customer data safe and secure. We think app developers should be able to support and interact with their customers directly rather than having to go through Apple or another 3rd party to resolve any issues. Our solution will give app creators that opportunity – one that’s already the case for sales made on vendor websites.

Any kind of marketing comms will require customers to have opted in through a checkbox in the checkout process. We’re just looking to give developers the ability to ask, like is commonly done during browser-based purchases.

I’m super keen to keep an open dialogue with any developers interested in an alternative to how you currently sell your apps in iOS so don’t hesitate to reach out to me christian at paddle com
