Review [Paddle’s privacy policy](https://www.paddle.com/legal/privacy) and configure your store’s privacy policy accordingly. On checkout and order-received pages, the plugin loads the official Paddle.js library from Paddle’s CDN (`https://cdn.paddle.com/paddle/paddle.js`). This is required for Paddle Classic checkout and is provided by Paddle as part of their payment service. No other third-party scripts are loaded. Paddle.js is not bundled in this plugin. #### Source code and development Human-readable source for this plugin (including JavaScript and CSS) is included in the plugin package and maintained publicly: * Public repository: https://github.com/shamimbdpro/codepopular-paddle-checkout- for-woocommerce * Admin JS source: `assets/src/js/admin.js` (also shipped as `assets/dist/js/admin. js`) * Admin CSS/SCSS source: `assets/src/sass/admin.scss` and `assets/src/sass/admin. css` (also shipped as `assets/dist/css/admin.css`) * Checkout / Blocks JS (uncompressed): `assets/dist/js/codepach-engine.js`, `assets/ dist/js/codepach-helpers.js`, `assets/dist/js/codepach-blocks-checkout.js` * Checkout CSS (uncompressed): `assets/dist/css/checkout.css` Paddle.js is loaded only from Paddle’s official CDN (`https://cdn.paddle.com/paddle/ paddle.js`) and is not bundled in this plugin.

Sign up at [paddle.com](https://www.paddle.com), then use your Vendor ID and API key in the gateway settings. ### Does CodePopular Paddle Checkout For WooCommerce support subscriptions? No. The free version supports Paddle Classic one-time payments only. To unlock subscriptions, the Paddle Billing API, recurring payments, and additional premium features, upgrade to [WooPaddle Pro](https://codepopular.com/product/paddle-for-woocommerce/?utm_source=wporgpage&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=free_plugin). ### Can I use Paddle Billing API with the Light version? No. Billing API is a Pro feature. Light uses the Paddle Classic API for one-time checkouts. ### Can I run CodePopular Paddle Checkout For WooCommerce and WooPaddle Pro at the same time? No. If Pro is active, this free plugin stays inactive to avoid class and gateway conflicts. Settings, webhook URL, and order meta stay under the shared Paddle gateway ID so you can upgrade without reconfiguring from scratch. ### Which currencies are supported? USD, GBP, and EUR. Your WooCommerce store currency must be one of these. ### Does it work with WooCommerce Blocks / block checkout? Yes. CodePopular Paddle Checkout For WooCommerce registers a Blocks payment method and declares Cart & Checkout Blocks compatibility. ### Does it support High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)? Yes. Compatibility with custom order tables (HPOS) is declared. ### Popup vs inline checkout — which should I use? Popup opens Paddle in an overlay (recommended for most stores). Inline embeds the Paddle checkout on your store page. You can switch this anytime in the gateway settings. ### Payments succeed in Paddle but the order stays pending — what should I check? Confirm the webhook URL from the CodePopular Paddle Checkout For WooCommerce settings is correctly added in your Paddle dashboard, and run the webhook connection test. Also ensure sandbox/live mode matches the environment you are using in Paddle. ### Where can I get support? For free support, please use the WordPress.org support forum for this plugin. To unlock advanced features, subscriptions, Paddle Billing API support, and receive priority support, upgrade to [WooPaddle Pro](https://codepopular.com/product/paddle-for-woocommerce/?utm_source=wporgpage&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=free_plugin). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WooPaddle Light – Paddle Checkout For WooCommerce” is open source software.
