>log in to commentI created this Django app for my SaaS projects because a Paddle Billing implementation for Django didn't exist. It comes with all the views necessary to handle SaaS project subscriptions. It has lots of configuration options. You can use custom-tailored templates out of the box. The app saves all the data that can be retrieved from Paddle to your database. That will allow us to have custom admin dashboards and other improvements in the future. If you are building a SaaS with Django and want to provide it globally, "Django Paddle Subscriptions" is a must 😉
