---

Create an API key

In Paddle, open Developer Tools > Authentication, create an API key that may create transactions, and copy it.

Add the provider in Casdoor

1. In the Casdoor admin console, go to Identity > Providers and add a provider.
2. Set Category to Payment and Type to Paddle.
3. Enter the API key as the Client secret. Paddle doesn't use Client ID.
4. Save the provider.

Add the provider to a product

Add the provider to the Payment providers of the product and save it. At checkout, Casdoor creates a transaction in Paddle and sends the user there. You don't create the products in Paddle beforehand.

注

The runmode in conf/app.conf of Casdoor decides whether Casdoor uses the sandbox or the production environment of Paddle.
