How This Book Is Organized
The book moves from learning to doing to looking things up:

Chapter 1, Introduction, Chapter 2, Installation, Updates, and Support and Chapter 3, Getting Started explain what PaddleSubs does, how to install it and connect it to your Paddle account, and how to find your way around.
- Understand

Chapter 4, Understanding PaddleSubs explains the handful of ideas PaddleSubs is built on: products, prices and levels, the Access Subscription every purchase creates, how purchases grant user groups, and what happens in the background without you.
- Build

Chapter 5, Tutorial: Sell a Membership, From Paddle to Protected Content takes you from an empty site to a tested sale that unlocks protected content. Chapter 6, Licenses and Site Activations and Chapter 7, Importing From Another Subscription System cover the two larger features in depth. Chapter 8, How-to Guides holds short recipes for individual jobs.

Chapter 9, The Admin Pages, Chapter 10, The Site Pages, Chapter 11, Settings Reference, Chapter 12, Included Extensions, Scheduled Tasks Reference and Chapter 13, Emails Reference describe every page, setting, extension, task and email.

The appendices list what PaddleSubs does with each Paddle event, and give developers the licensing API and the details of templates and checkout buttons.
