Privacy & data

This plugin sends order and customer details required for checkout to Paddle when a payment is initiated, and receives payment status via webhooks. Review Paddle’s privacy policy 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.
