Why Paddle?

Stop Wrestling With Global Taxes & Compliance

Paddle is a Merchant of Record โ€” it sells to your customers on your behalf and takes the legal headaches with it.

๐ŸŒ

Global Tax, Handled

VAT, GST and sales tax calculated, collected and remitted by Paddle in 100+ countries. You never file a foreign tax return again.

๐Ÿ’ณ

Every Payment Method

Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local methods โ€” all through one polished, conversion-optimized overlay checkout.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Fraud & Chargebacks

Paddle absorbs fraud screening, chargeback disputes and payment compliance, so your EDD store just sells.

Everything Included

Run Your Entire Paddle Business From The EDD Dashboard

No dashboard-hopping. Products, payments, subscriptions, licenses and refunds stay in perfect sync โ€” automatically.

๐Ÿ”„

Automatic Product Sync

Create or update a download in EDD and it instantly appears in your Paddle catalog โ€” name, price, billing period, variable prices. One-click bulk sync for existing stores.

โ†ฉ๏ธ

Refund From EDD

Click Refund on any EDD order and the money is returned through Paddle automatically. Licenses are revoked and every step is logged as an order note.

โœ–๏ธ

Cancel From EDD

Admins cancel subscriptions from the EDD dashboard; customers cancel from their account page. Paddle stops billing instantly โ€” no loops, no orphaned subscriptions.

๐Ÿ“…

Subscriptions & Renewals

Full EDD Recurring integration. Every Paddle renewal creates a renewal order in your store and shows up in your EDD reports โ€” daily, weekly, monthly or yearly billing.

๐Ÿ”‘

Software Licensing Ready

License keys are generated on purchase, extended on every renewal and revoked on refunds โ€” seamless EDD Software Licensing support for plugin & theme sellers.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Coupon Sync

Your EDD discount codes are mirrored to Paddle discounts on the fly, so checkout totals always match โ€” percentage or flat, one-time or recurring.

โšก

Overlay Checkout

Paddle.js v2 opens a beautiful, localized payment overlay right on your checkout page. Customers never leave your site.

๐Ÿ”’

Secure Webhooks

Every Paddle notification is HMAC-signature verified with replay protection before your store acts on it. Failed events are logged with the exact reason.

๐Ÿงช

Sandbox Mode

Flip one switch to test the entire flow against the Paddle sandbox โ€” separate product mappings for sandbox and live mean zero cross-contamination when you launch.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a verified Paddle account to try it?

No. You can build and test your entire store against the free Paddle Sandbox โ€” including test payments, subscriptions, renewals and refunds โ€” before your live Paddle account is approved. One toggle switches you to live when you’re ready.

Does it work with EDD Software Licensing?

Yes, completely. License keys are generated when a purchase completes, extended automatically on every subscription renewal, and revoked when an order is refunded.

Does it support subscriptions and recurring payments?

Yes. With EDD Recurring active, any recurring download becomes a true Paddle subscription โ€” Paddle bills your customer automatically, and each renewal is recorded as a renewal order in EDD with your reports and licenses kept in sync.

Can I manage refunds and cancellations without leaving WordPress?

Yes โ€” that’s the whole point. Refund an order or cancel a subscription from the EDD dashboard and the change is pushed to Paddle instantly. Changes made on Paddle’s side flow back through secure webhooks, so both systems always agree.

Do I need Composer or any developer tools to install it?

No. It’s a standard WordPress plugin โ€” upload, activate, paste your Paddle keys and you’re done. It runs on PHP 8.0+ with no external libraries.

What happens to products I created before installing?

Hit the “Sync All Products to Paddle” button once and every published download โ€” including variable prices and subscription periods โ€” is created in your Paddle catalog automatically.

Is the checkout hosted on my site?

The Paddle overlay opens directly on your EDD checkout page, so customers never feel like they left your store โ€” while the payment itself is processed on Paddle’s PCI-compliant infrastructure.
