Paddle IDs

All entities in the Paddle Invoice API have a unique identifier. The ID is a combination of a three letter prefix and a unique ID.

For example, an invoice entity ID looks like this:

inv_71jbvv7LfRKYp19gtRLtkn

Paddle automatically creates IDs for you when you create entities using the Paddle Invoice API or dashboard.

If you create using the API, the ID is returned in the response when successful.

When making requests to the API, use the ID to refer to the correct entity. For example:

GET https://api.paddle.com/invoices/inv_71jbvv7LfRKYp19gtRLtkn

An entity’s three letter prefix makes it easy to spot what kind of entity you’re working with.
