## Opis

**SaleMint – Paddle Checkout for WooCommerce** connects your WooCommerce store to
[Paddle](https://paddle.com), the merchant-of-record payment platform built for 
software, SaaS, courses, memberships, and other digital products. Paddle runs the
checkout and calculates, collects, and remits sales tax and VAT worldwide, while
this plugin keeps your WooCommerce orders, totals, and invoices fully in sync.

No tax plugin, no per-country VAT registrations, and no redirect away from your 
store — customers pay in an embedded Paddle checkout right on your WooCommerce checkout
page.

> **Selling subscriptions?** This free plugin handles one-time payments. **[SaleMint Paddle Pro](https://salemint.io/plugins/paddle-for-woocommerce)**
> adds recurring billing through Paddle for both **WooCommerce Subscriptions** and**
> WPSubscription** — with free trials, split payments (installments), early renewal,
> a Buy Now button, a self-serve customer portal, and customer invoices. Pro is 
> an add-on, so everything you already use keeps working. Full setup docs: [salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction](https://salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction).

#### How it works

When a customer places an order, the plugin opens Paddle’s hosted checkout (modal
or full-page). After the customer completes payment, the Paddle transaction ID is
captured and attached to the WooCommerce order. The plugin then fetches the authoritative
order totals from Paddle — including any tax Paddle applied — and updates the WooCommerce
order to match, so your records are always accurate.

#### Key features

 * **Classic checkout & WooCommerce Blocks** — Works with both the classic WooCommerce
   checkout and the modern block-based checkout.
 * **Modal or full-page checkout** — Choose between an overlay modal or a full-page
   Paddle checkout, configurable from the gateway settings.
 * **Sandbox / live mode** — Toggle between Paddle’s sandbox environment for testing
   and the live environment for production, without touching any code.
 * **Digital-only enforcement** — The Paddle payment option is automatically hidden
   whenever the cart contains a physical product that requires shipping. This prevents
   it from appearing for orders Paddle cannot fulfil.
 * **Paddle tax categories** — Assign a Paddle tax category (e.g. _standard_, _digital-
   goods_, _ebooks_, _SaaS_, _software_) to products, with a configurable store-
   wide default. Supports all 13 Paddle tax classifications.
 * **Coupon sync** — WooCommerce coupons applied at checkout are forwarded to Paddle
   as discounts, so the transaction amount in Paddle always reflects the discounted
   total.
 * **Cart fee sync** — Extra fees added to the cart (e.g. handling fees or surcharges)
   are passed to Paddle as line items and synced back after payment, keeping both
   records consistent.
 * **Automatic order totals sync** — After payment, the plugin synchronises WooCommerce
   order totals — including line-item subtotals, discounts, fees, tax lines, and
   the grand total — with the values reported by Paddle. An order note is added 
   documenting the sync for auditing purposes.
 * **Transaction & invoice ID tracking** — The Paddle transaction ID and invoice
   ID are saved directly to the WooCommerce order and visible on the order detail
   screen.
 * **Transaction URL** — A direct link to the Paddle transaction is saved with each
   order so you can jump straight to the Paddle dashboard from WooCommerce.
 * **Refund support** — Initiate full or partial refunds from the standard WooCommerce
   refund interface; the plugin forwards the refund to Paddle automatically.
 * **Invoice button on order screen** — A one-click button on the admin single-order
   page lets you open or download the Paddle-generated invoice without leaving WooCommerce.
 * **Order-pay page support** — Customers can retry a failed or pending payment 
   from the WooCommerce order-pay page; billing details are pre-populated automatically.
 * **Light and dark themes** — Choose between Paddle’s light and dark checkout UI
   to match your store’s design.

#### Free vs Pro

Everything above is free, forever. **[SaleMint Paddle Pro](https://salemint.io/plugins/paddle-for-woocommerce)**
is an add-on that layers recurring billing and its supporting tools on top — install
it alongside this plugin and every free feature keeps working unchanged.

**Pro adds:**

**Subscriptions & recurring billing**

 * **WooCommerce Subscriptions support** — Two-way sync between WooCommerce and 
   Paddle: status, dates, currency, billing address, line items, and coupons stay
   in step on both sides.
 * **WPSubscription support (new in Pro 1.1.0)** — Sell WPSubscription products 
   through Paddle. Paddle handles auto-renewal, and every renewal syncs the next
   payment date back to the WPSubscription record.
 * **Free trials and signup fees** — Trial periods are passed to Paddle, which delays
   the first charge until the trial ends.
 * **Split payments (installments)** — Sell in installments with WPSubscription;
   Paddle charges each one on schedule.
 * **Auto-renewal via webhook** — Renewals charge the saved payment method automatically,
   and every Paddle event is verified with HMAC-SHA256 signatures before it touches
   an order.
 * **Early renewal** — Customers renew ahead of schedule with the card already on
   file, with no checkout modal.
 * **Full lifecycle sync** — Cancel, pause, resume, switch, and change payment method
   all reach Paddle.
 * **Update payment method from My Account** — Customers swap their card themselves
   on both WooCommerce Subscriptions and WPSubscription stores.

**Sell from anywhere**

 * **Buy Now button** — Gutenberg blocks and an Elementor widget that open the Paddle
   checkout from any landing page or pricing table, with no cart in between. Works
   with one-time, WooCommerce Subscriptions, and WPSubscription products, and hides
   itself on physical products.

**Self-serve billing & tax**

 * **Customer portal** — A My Account link opens Paddle’s self-serve portal for 
   payment details and billing history.
 * **Customer invoices** — View and Generate invoice buttons on the order page and
   the My Account orders list, cached and auto-regenerated.
 * **Per-product tax categories** — Override the Paddle tax category per product,
   per variation, and for cart fees.

Pro is a one-time, lifetime license — no subscription to renew. See the full [Pro documentation](https://salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction)
or [get Pro](https://checkout.freemius.com/plugin/29396/plan/54483/licenses/1/?coupon=earlysupporters).

#### Who is it for?

 * SaaS and software companies selling licenses or plans on WooCommerce
 * Course creators, membership sites, and online academies
 * Sellers of ebooks, templates, themes, plugins, and other downloads
 * Any store that wants Paddle to handle global sales tax and VAT as merchant of
   record

#### Requirements

 * PHP 8.1 or higher
 * WordPress 6.0 or higher
 * WooCommerce (latest recommended)
 * A [Paddle account](https://paddle.com) with an API key and client-side token

### External Services

This plugin connects to Paddle’s servers to process payments and load the Paddle
JavaScript SDK. By using this plugin you agree to Paddle’s terms and privacy policy.

#### Paddle JavaScript SDK

The Paddle checkout SDK is loaded from Paddle’s CDN on any page where the payment
gateway is active:

 * **Production:** `https://cdn.paddle.com/paddle/v2/paddle.js`
 * **Sandbox:** same URL (environment is set via the client-side token)

This script is provided by Paddle.com Inc. and is required to open the hosted checkout
modal.

 * [Paddle website](https://paddle.com)
 * [Paddle Terms of Service](https://www.paddle.com/legal/terms)
 * [Paddle Privacy Policy](https://www.paddle.com/legal/privacy)

#### Paddle REST API

The plugin communicates with the Paddle REST API from your server to create transactions
and retrieve order details:

 * **Production:** `https://api.paddle.com`
 * **Sandbox:** `https://sandbox-api.paddle.com`

Data sent includes order line items, customer billing information (email, country,
postcode), and currency. No data is sent unless a customer initiates checkout.

## Najczęściej zadawane pytania

### Why does the Paddle payment option disappear at checkout?

Paddle is designed for digital goods. If your cart contains any product that requires
physical shipping, the Paddle payment option is automatically hidden. Remove the
physical item — or complete its purchase through a different payment method — and
Paddle will reappear for the remaining digital items.

### My order total is different after payment. Is that normal?

Yes, this is intentional. Paddle acts as a merchant of record and calculates tax
authoritatively based on the customer’s location. After a successful payment, the
plugin fetches the final totals directly from Paddle and updates the WooCommerce
order to match — including any tax Paddle applied that differs from the original
WooCommerce estimate. An order note is added every time this sync occurs so you 
have a clear audit trail.

### Where can I find the Paddle transaction ID for an order?

Open the order in **WooCommerce  Orders**, then look in the order meta section. 
The transaction ID is stored under `_paddle_transaction_id` and the invoice ID under`
_paddle_invoice_id`.

### What currencies are supported?

Any currency supported by your Paddle account. The plugin correctly handles both
standard currencies (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP) and zero-decimal currencies (e.g. JPY, 
KRW) without any additional configuration.

### Are WooCommerce coupons passed to Paddle?

Yes. When a customer applies a coupon at checkout, the discount is forwarded to 
Paddle so the transaction amount matches the discounted WooCommerce total. The coupon
value is also reflected in the order totals sync after payment.

### Are extra cart fees (e.g. handling fees) passed to Paddle?

Yes. Any fees added to the cart — such as handling fees or surcharges — are sent
to Paddle as separate line items. After payment, these fee amounts are synced back
to the WooCommerce order to keep both records consistent.

### Does the plugin support subscriptions or recurring payments?

The free core processes one-time transactions only. For recurring billing — subscriptions,
free trials, split payments, auto-renewal, early renewal, and a customer portal —
install **[SaleMint Paddle Pro](https://salemint.io/plugins/paddle-for-woocommerce)**
alongside this plugin. Pro works with either **WooCommerce Subscriptions** or **
WPSubscription**, and also adds a Buy Now button and customer invoices. See the 
[Pro documentation](https://salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction) for setup steps.

### Does it work with WPSubscription?

Yes, through **[SaleMint Paddle Pro](https://salemint.io/plugins/paddle-for-woocommerce)**
1.1.0 or later. Pro supports WPSubscription products with free trials, split payments(
installments), auto-renewal, early renewal with the saved card, and updating the
payment method from My Account. Each renewal syncs the next payment date back to
the WPSubscription record. The Buy Now block and Elementor widget accept WPSubscription
products too.

### Do I need WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring billing?

No. Pro works with either **WooCommerce Subscriptions** or **WPSubscription** — 
use whichever subscription plugin your store already runs. The free plugin alone
supports one-time payments.

### Do customers leave my site to pay?

No. With the default modal checkout, Paddle’s checkout opens as an overlay on your
WooCommerce checkout page, so customers never get redirected to an external domain.
A full-page checkout option is also available.

### Does the plugin handle refunds?

Yes. You can issue full or partial refunds directly from the WooCommerce order screen
using the standard refund interface. The plugin forwards the refund request to Paddle
automatically and records the result in the order notes.

### How do I switch from sandbox to live mode?

Go to **WooCommerce  Settings  Payments  Paddle Payment for WooCommerce**, uncheck**
Sandbox Mode**, enter your live API key and client-side token, and save. No other
changes are required.

### What PHP and WooCommerce versions are required?

PHP 8.1 or higher is required. The plugin is tested against the latest stable release
of WooCommerce; using a recent version is strongly recommended.

### Is there a Pro version?

Yes. **[SaleMint Paddle Pro](https://salemint.io/plugins/paddle-for-woocommerce)**
is an add-on for this free plugin that adds WooCommerce Subscriptions and WPSubscription
support, free trials, split payments, auto-renewal, early renewal, a Buy Now button(
Gutenberg block and Elementor widget), a self-serve customer portal, customer invoices,
and per-product tax categories. It’s a one-time lifetime license and requires this
free plugin (1.3.2 or later). Install it alongside the free core — every free feature
keeps working exactly as before. Documentation is available at [salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction](https://salemint.io/docs/paddle/introduction).

Good Paddle plugin with excellent support! SaleMint works correctly with WPML Multicurrency,
allowing us to keep KZT as the WooCommerce base currency while processing international
payments in USD. The support team responded quickly, reproduced our setup, and helped
us resolve a caching issue. Highly recommended!
