FAQ:
Do I need a Paddle account? Yes. Paddle is the payment processor. You create a free account at paddle.com, get your API keys, and paste them into the plugin settings.
Is this a subscription? No. You pay once, you own it forever. All future updates are included at no extra cost.
Does Paddle charge fees? Paddle charges a per-transaction fee (5% + $0.50). This is Paddle’s fee, not ours. There are no additional fees from our plugin.
Can I use this on multiple sites? The standard license covers 1 site. Contact us for multi-site pricing.

Switched from Stripe to Paddle because I didn’t want to deal with EU VAT collection myself. This plugin made the WooCommerce integration seamless — the overlay checkout is clean, customers can pay with cards, PayPal, or Apple Pay, and Paddle handles all the tax stuff. No monthly fees on the plugin side either. Setup was straightforward, maybe 20 minutes total.

The overlay checkout is really well implemented. Customers don’t leave the site, the payment form just pops up over the page. Supports all the major payment methods through Paddle. I’ve been running it for three months now with zero issues. If you’re selling digital products and want a Merchant of Record to handle taxes and compliance, this is the WooCommerce integration you need.

Works exactly as described. I sell WordPress themes through WooCommerce and needed Paddle as my payment processor. This gateway plugin connects the two cleanly. Orders sync properly, webhook handling is solid. Only small issue — I had to contact support to figure out the sandbox testing setup, but once configured it worked perfectly. Documentation could be slightly more detailed on that front.

I compared this to the other Paddle-WooCommerce plugins out there, and this is the only one that doesn’t charge a monthly fee or take a revenue percentage on top of Paddle’s own fees. One-time purchase, lifetime updates. The checkout overlay matches my site’s branding well. Apple Pay and Google Pay work without any extra configuration. Really happy with this.
