Paddle Payment Gateway for Larapen

Paddle is not just a payment processor, it's a merchant of record. This means Paddle is the legal seller of your product in every transaction. They handle sales tax, VAT, and GST calculations and remittance in every country where your customers buy. No more juggling tax registrations across dozens of jurisdictions. No more worrying about changing tax regulations. Paddle takes care of it all, so you can focus entirely on building and growing your business.

Subscription Billing Made Simple

Paddle's subscription engine handles the entire billing lifecycle out of the box. Create plans with trials, manage upgrades and downgrades, handle proration, retry failed payments, and send dunning emails; all automatically. The overlay checkout provides a polished, conversion-optimized payment experience that keeps customers on your site. Combined with Paddle's webhook system, your Larapen platform stays perfectly synchronized with every subscription event.

How It Works

1. Create a Paddle Account: Sign up for a Paddle seller account and get approved. Once approved, retrieve your API key and seller ID from the Paddle dashboard. Use sandbox mode for testing before going live.
2. Configure Products & Pricing: Set up your products and pricing plans in the Paddle dashboard. Configure one-time purchases, subscription plans with trials, and currency-specific pricing. The add-on maps Paddle products to your Larapen catalog.
3. Go Live: Switch from sandbox to live mode, and your checkout is ready. Paddle handles tax collection, compliance, and payouts. You receive net revenue directly to your bank account on a regular schedule.
