Setting up a one-time product in Paddle

Hello!

I've been wondering how you handle your product setups on Paddle. I'd like to create a product that users can buy, it's a job post on my platform. I'm wondering right now what I should put in an "upload your application" field 🤔 I don't want to upload nor point a download URL to anything, I'm just adding a new entry in my database, but it seems that it's required 😄 Anyone had similar issues or has any ideas how to solve it? 😉

  1. 1

    I've not implemented a one-off payment but could you point the download page to a payment success page?

    FYI If you want to test something with Paddle you should be able to make the price 0.00. It will allow you to go through the checkout but not charge you anything (it does for subscriptions anyway).
    If that does not work the other option is to create a coupon for the full price, again I've not tried this for one-off purchases though

  2. 1

    Would also be curious to hear people's experience with Paddle. I found the pricing copy on their website to be pretty opaque.

    1. 2

      There are no monthly fees or commitment: we charge 5% + $0.50 per transaction which includes all payment methods, subscription billing, licensing, sales taxes etc.

      That's off an email from Paddle that I got when I requested the demo on their site
