Going live checklist

Updated

Work through this list before you take real payments. Each step takes a few minutes.

  1. Test the full flow in sandbox with EDD Test Mode on: a one-time purchase, a subscription, a refund from EDD and a refund from Paddle.
  2. Enter your Live credentials. For Billing, click Set up webhook with Test Mode off so the live webhook secret is created.
  3. Billing: approve your domain and set the default payment link in your live Paddle account.
  4. Classic: set the alerts URL in your live Paddle account.
  5. Turn EDD taxes off, and exclude the checkout page from page caching.
  6. Turn EDD Test Mode off.
  7. Place one small real order, check that it completes and that the license and email arrive, then refund it.

Caching

Page caches can serve a stale checkout to customers. Exclude your checkout page (and the webhook URL, if your cache or firewall touches REST requests) from caching.
