# Paddle subscription integration
## Sandbox configuration
Keep the Paddle API key and webhook secret server-side only. Do not put either value in the macOS application or commit them to Git.
Required environment variables:
```dotenv
PADDLE_API_KEY=pdl_sdbx_apikey_...
PADDLE_API_URL=https://sandbox-api.paddle.com
PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=...
PADDLE_PERSONAL_PRODUCT_ID=pro_01m22q4c3vt7yvtv3h3zw1jbn0
PADDLE_PERSONAL_MONTHLY_PRICE_ID=pri_01m22q4cjx177krcpvdph7e2vy
PADDLE_PERSONAL_ANNUAL_PRICE_ID=pri_01m22q4cs9sr5gshxp6j56nvmh
PADDLE_PROFESSIONAL_PRODUCT_ID=pro_01m22q4d0s6y1557wsq9s7xw8n
PADDLE_PROFESSIONAL_MONTHLY_PRICE_ID=pri_01m22q4d6h1yvr1frawtx51gy8
PADDLE_PROFESSIONAL_ANNUAL_PRICE_ID=pri_01m22q4dcndcdbzc20txadaz52
```
Then run:
```bash
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=Database\\Seeders\\PaddleCatalogSeeder
php artisan config:clear
```
The seeder maps the four Paddle price IDs to licensing entitlements. Personal permits one active Mac; Professional permits three.
## Paddle notification destination
Configure the sandbox notification destination to POST to:
`https://YOUR-HOST/api/v1/webhooks/paddle`
Copy the destination endpoint secret into `PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`.
Subscribe to at least:
- `subscription.created`
- `subscription.updated`
- `subscription.activated`
- `subscription.trialing`
- `subscription.canceled`
- `subscription.paused`
- `subscription.resumed`
- `subscription.past_due`
- `transaction.completed`
- `transaction.refunded`
## Entitlement behavior
- Trialing and active subscriptions are usable.
- A scheduled end-of-period cancellation stays usable until Paddle changes the subscription to canceled.
- Upgrades/downgrades update the entitlement on the existing licence key.
- Canceled or paused subscriptions revoke the licence.
- Past-due subscriptions retain access through Paddle's current billing period rather than being revoked on the first failed payment.
- Paddle customer details are fetched server-side when the webhook does not carry customer email/name in custom data.
## Important
The API key is required only on the licensing server. Use a sandbox key with the sandbox API URL. Live Paddle products/prices have different IDs and should be configured separately when moving to production.
## Hosted sandbox checkout
The licensing site exposes `/buy`, which initializes Paddle.js with `PADDLE_CLIENT_SIDE_TOKEN` and opens an overlay checkout for the four configured price IDs. Set `PADDLE_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox` while testing and use a `test_...` client-side token. The token is intentionally browser-visible; never use `PADDLE_API_KEY` in frontend code.
After a subscription webhook provisions a licence, the webhook controller makes a best-effort attempt to deliver pending licence keys by email. Delivery failures do not roll back the verified Paddle event; the encrypted outbox remains available for portal resend.
