Products

Products are the things that you sell to your customers.

For simplicity and flexibility, there’s no hierarchy of products and no distinction between recurring and non-recurring services.

Some examples of products in Paddle:

• A typical monthly or annual subscription plan
• Additional users or seats
• Recurring addons, like premium support or a reporting package
• One-off charges, like incident support or an onboarding fee
• One time products, like ebooks

You can add products to invoices to bill customers for them.

Work with products

Using the Paddle Invoice API, you can:

• List products
• Create a new product
• Get a single product
• Update an existing product

Archive products

You can’t delete products, but you can archive them to say you no longer need them. Archived products can’t be used in Paddle and aren’t returned by default when you query the list endpoint.

To archive a product, use the update product method:

{
  "status": "archived"
}
