Check these before you install. Paddle must be able to reach your site, so a public HTTPS address is required.
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.0 or newer |
| PHP | 7.4 or newer (the OpenSSL extension is needed for Paddle Classic) |
| WooCommerce | 8.0 or newer |
| WooCommerce Subscriptions | Optional; needed to sell subscriptions |
| A Paddle account | Paddle Billing or Paddle Classic, plus a sandbox account for testing |
| Your site | Publicly reachable over HTTPS, so Paddle can send payment notifications |
The plugin works with the WooCommerce Checkout block, the classic (shortcode) checkout, and High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Local sites
Local addresses such as *.local or localhost can’t receive webhooks. See Local development and testing.
