Create recurring or subscription product

PaddlePay allows you to update both the price and billing type of a Paddle-connected product directly from your WordPress dashboard using the Edit Price popup.

How It Works

When viewing a Paddle-connected product, click the Edit Price button to open a popup where you can:

  • Set the price by syncing with the current WooCommerce product price or entering it manually.
  • Change the billing type between:
    • One-Time Charge – customer pays once.
    • Recurring Subscription – customer is charged periodically.

 

Recurring Billing Options

If you select Recurring Subscription as the billing type, two additional fields will appear:

  • Billing Period – how often the subscription will be charged (e.g., monthly, yearly).
  • Trial Period – the number of days the customer can try the product before the first payment.

Updating the Price & Billing Type

  1. Click the Edit Price button on the product page.
  2. Enter or sync the price.
  3. Select One-Time Charge or Recurring Subscription.
  4. If recurring, set the Billing Period and Trial Period.
  5. Click Save to instantly update the product in Paddle via API.

 

Important Notes

  • Changes take effect immediately for new purchases.
  • Switching from one-time to recurring will treat the product as a new subscription in Paddle.
  • WooCommerce price changes do not affect Paddle unless you choose the “Sync with WooCommerce price” option in the popup.
