Last year, Paddle released its new billing and subscription system. It wasn’t just a small update—it was a whole new way of managing payments. Since then, many of you have asked us to connect Paddle with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD).
We listened, we worked hard, and now, we’re excited to share the good news! Paddle billing is now fully supported for EDD.
What Makes This Integration Special?
With this update, your EDD store can now work smoothly with Paddle’s billing tools. This means no more manual work or worrying about keeping things in sync.
Here’s what happens:
- When a customer buys something from your store, the details are sent to Paddle.
- If the product isn’t already in Paddle, don’t worry! It will be created automatically.
- Refunds or cancellations? Those are synced too. Everything happens behind the scenes without you lifting a finger.
Setup Made Simple
We know setting up new tools can feel confusing. That’s why we’ve made the process as easy as possible.

Our plugin now includes a new menu and a step-by-step guide. You’ll learn how to install the plugin, validate your license, and connect your store to Paddle.

It’s all designed to be clear and straightforward, even if you’re not a tech expert.
