How it works
From sign-up to your first test sale
Paddle owns the catalogue, the checkout and the money. PaddleSubs keeps a Joomla site in step with it. The demo lets you see both sides.
-
Create your account
Register with your email address, then open the link we email you to activate your account and log in. Already a PaddleSubs customer? Log in with your account.
-
Start your demo site
We make a private Joomla site with PaddleSubs installed and show its links here. It's yours for 2 hours; you can start 3 a day.
-
Get a Paddle Sandbox account
Paddle Sandbox is Paddle's free test environment: separate from live Paddle, with test cards and no real money. You need a sandbox account even if you already sell with Paddle. Once you're in, create an API key and a client-side token under Developer tools > Authentication.
Sign up for Paddle Sandbox -
Open your demo and follow its steps
Your demo's administrator link logs you straight in. The demo's home page walks you through the rest:
- Paste your Paddle Sandbox API key and client-side token into PaddleSubs' Options.
- Add a notification destination in Paddle Sandbox for the demo's webhook URL, and paste its secret key into PaddleSubs.
- Create a product and a price in PaddleSubs, and see them appear in your Paddle Sandbox catalogue.
- Buy it on the demo's Pricing page with the test card
4242 4242 4242 4242. - Watch the purchase become an Access Subscription and open the members-only article.
Good to know
-
Paddle Sandbox onlyThe demo accepts sandbox credentials and refuses live ones, so every checkout is a test.
-
Email stays in the demoThe demo can't send email out. Everything it sends waits in its own mailbox.
-
Deleted after 2 hoursThe site, its database and its mailbox are deleted then. Your Paddle Sandbox account keeps what you made in it.
