What's new?
You can now build apps that connect to Paddle accounts using OAuth. You can connect and manage connected apps from the new apps page in the dashboard.
How it works
OAuth is a way to securely grant third-party applications access to your account without creating an API key. We've built a new flow that allows you to build apps that connect to Paddle accounts using OAuth.
Go to Paddle > Connectors > Apps to see the apps connected to your account. Each app connects with its own credentials and only the permissions you approve, and you can review or revoke an app's access at any time.
We're also opening an app marketplace publisher program for partners who want to build apps that Paddle users can install.
If you're implementing Paddle in your stack as your merchant of record, you should use API keys. OAuth is for building apps that other Paddle users can install.
Next steps
OAuth for connecting apps to Paddle accounts is available now. To get more details about how to build apps that connect to Paddle accounts using OAuth and apply to the app marketplace publisher program, check out the apps guide.
For existing apps that connect to Paddle accounts using API keys:
- If you're a user, you can continue to use your app as usual. Existing apps that use API keys are not impacted.
- If you're an app developer, you can migrate to OAuth at any time. Fill out the form on the apps guide to apply to the app marketplace publisher program.
