Description

Paddle for EDD is an addon that adds a Paddle gateway to the Easy Digital Downloads checkout, forwarding digital product payments to the billing flow configured in the Paddle account. In WPSmartPay, the extension acts as a bridge between the sale made in EDD and the external payment processing, helping stores of downloads, plugins, themes, and digital files centralize charges in a more organized flow.
