It's disappointing to hear that Paddle requires three months of processing statements before allowing integration for new SaaS products. This creates a classic chicken-and-egg dilemma: without a payment solution, you can't generate transactions, and without transactions, you can't qualify for Paddle.

For new SaaS products, starting with an alternative payment processor like Stripe, which does not have this requirement, seems to be a necessary step. Stripe is straightforward to integrate and widely trusted. After generating the required transaction history, migrating to Paddle for its comprehensive tax handling could be considered.

Alternatively, many tax solutions can integrate with Stripe, providing similar benefits to what Paddle offers without the initial barrier.

This requirement seems counterintuitive and might deter new businesses from considering Paddle from the start. If Paddle could reconsider or provide a pathway for new products without existing transaction history, it could be more appealing to startups.
