Integrate Paddle Billing
What is Paddle?
Paddle is a complete billing solution for SaaS businesses to manage payments, taxes, subscriptions, and more. Connect your Partnero and Paddle accounts to simplify customer purchase tracking and sync data with your account effortlessly.
How does the Paddle Billing integration work?
There are two main parts to the integration:
- Creating a customer associated with a partner on Partnero;
- Tracking the customer's purchases.
We'll cover both in this article.

- Follow the instructions to start tracking website visitors and signups to complete the integration
Authorize Paddle Billing to attribute sales
The last step is to authorize your Paddle account to send data about subsequent or recurring purchases made by referred customers.
