Providing Meta Data to Paddle CheckoutProviding Meta Data to Paddle Checkout

When selling products, it's common to keep track of completed orders and purchased products via Cart and Order models defined by your own application. When redirecting customers to Paddle's Checkout Overlay to complete a purchase, you may need to provide an existing order identifier so that you can associate the completed purchase with the corresponding order when the customer is redirected back to your application.When selling products, it's common to keep track of completed orders and purchased products via Cart and Order models defined by your own application. When redirecting customers to Paddle's Checkout Overlay to complete a purchase, you may need to provide an existing order identifier so that you can associate the completed purchase with the corresponding order when the customer is redirected back to your application.

To accomplish this, you may provide an array of custom data to the checkout method. Let's imagine that a pending Order is created within our application when a user begins the checkout process. Remember, the Cart and Order models in this example are illustrative and not provided by Cashier. You are free to implement these concepts based on the needs of your own application:To accomplish this, you may provide an array of custom data to the checkout method.

use App\Models\Cart;
use App\Models\Order;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Route::get('/cart/{cart}/checkout', function (Request $request, Cart $cart) {
    $order = Order::create([
        'cart_id' => $cart->id,
        'price_ids' => $cart->price_ids,
        'status' => 'incomplete',

        ->customData(['order_id' => $order->id]);

    return view('billing', ['checkout' => $checkout]);
})->name('checkout');

As you can see in the example above, when a user begins the checkout process, we will provide all of the cart / order's associated Paddle price identifiers to the checkout method. Of course, your application is responsible for associating these items with the "shopping cart" or order as a customer adds them. We also provide the order's ID to the Paddle Checkout Overlay via the customData method.As you can see in the example above, when a user begins the checkout process, we will provide all of the cart / order's associated Paddle price identifiers to the checkout method.

To learn how to sell subscriptions using Cashier and Paddle's Checkout Overlay, let's consider the simple scenario of a subscription service with a basic monthly (price_basic_monthly) and yearly (price_basic_yearly) plan. These two prices could be grouped under a "Basic" product (pro_basic) in our Paddle dashboard. In addition, our subscription service might offer an Expert plan as pro_expert.To learn how to sell subscriptions using Cashier and Paddle's Checkout Overlay, let's consider the simple scenario of a subscription service with a basic monthly (price_basic_monthly) and yearly (price_basic_yearly) plan.

First, let's discover how a customer can subscribe to our services. Of course, you can imagine the customer might click a "subscribe" button for the Basic plan on our application's pricing page. This button will invoke a Paddle Checkout Overlay for their chosen plan.

To know when their subscription has actually started (since some payment methods require a few seconds to process), you should also configure Cashier's webhook handling.Now, when the Subscribe button is clicked, the customer will be able to enter their payment details and initiate their subscription. To know when their subscription has actually started (since some payment methods require a few seconds to process), you should also configure Cashier's webhook handling[#handling-paddle-webhooks].

Now that customers can start subscriptions, we need to restrict certain portions of our application so that only subscribed users can access them. Of course, we can always determine a user's current subscription status via the subscribed method provided by Cashier's Billable trait:Now that customers can start subscriptions, we need to restrict certain portions of our application so that only subscribed users can access them.

Building a Subscribed MiddlewareBuilding a Subscribed Middleware

For convenience, you may wish to create a middleware which determines if the incoming request is from a subscribed user. Once this middleware has been defined, you may easily assign it to a route to prevent users that are not subscribed from accessing the route:For convenience, you may wish to create a middleware[/docs/{{version}}/middleware] which determines if the incoming request is from a subscribed user.

Allowing Customers to Manage Their Billing PlanAllowing Customers to Manage Their Billing Plan

Of course, customers may want to change their subscription plan to another product or "tier". In our example from above, we'd want to allow the customer to change their plan from a monthly subscription to a yearly subscription. For this you'll need to implement something like a button that leads to the below route:Of course, customers may want to change their subscription plan to another product or "tier". In our example from above, we'd want to allow the customer to change their plan from a monthly subscription to a yearly subscription. For this you'll need to implement something like a button that leads to the below route:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Route::put('/subscription/{price}/swap', function (Request $request, $price) {
    $user->subscription()->swap($price); // With "$price" being "price_basic_yearly" for this example.

    return redirect()->route('dashboard');
})->name('subscription.swap');

Besides swapping plans you'll also need to allow your customers to cancel their subscription. Like swapping plans, provide a button that leads to the following route:Besides swapping plans you'll also need to allow your customers to cancel their subscription. Like swapping plans, provide a button that leads to the following route:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Route::put('/subscription/cancel', function (Request $request, $price) {

    return redirect()->route('dashboard');
})->name('subscription.cancel');

And now your subscription will get cancelled at the end of its billing period.And now your subscription will get cancelled at the end of its billing period.

Creating SubscriptionsCreating Subscriptions

To create a subscription, first retrieve an instance of your billable model from your database, which will typically be an instance of App\Models\User. Once you have retrieved the model instance, you may use the subscribe method to create the model's checkout session:To create a subscription, first retrieve an instance of your billable model from your database, which will typically be an instance of App\Models\User. Once you have retrieved the model instance, you may use the subscribe method to create the model's checkout session:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Route::get('/user/subscribe', function (Request $request) {
    $checkout = $request->user()->subscribe($premium = 12345, 'default')
        ->returnTo(route('home'));

    return view('billing', ['checkout' => $checkout]);
});

The first argument given to the subscribe method is the specific price the user is subscribing to. This value should correspond to the price's identifier in Paddle. The returnTo method accepts a URL that your user will be redirected to after they successfully complete the checkout. The second argument passed to the subscribe method should be the internal "type" of the subscription. If your application only offers a single subscription, you might call this default or primary. This subscription type is only for internal application usage and is not meant to be displayed to users. In addition, it should not contain spaces and it should never be changed after creating the subscription.The first argument given to the subscribe method is the specific price the user is subscribing to.

Checking Subscription StatusChecking Subscription Status

Once a user is subscribed to your application, you may check their subscription status using a variety of convenient methods. First, the subscribed method returns true if the user has an valid subscription, even if the subscription is currently within its trial period:Once a user is subscribed to your application, you may check their subscription status using a variety of convenient methods. First, the subscribed method returns true if the user has an valid subscription, even if the subscription is currently within its trial period:

}

If your application offers multiple subscriptions, you may specify the subscription when invoking the subscribed method:If your application offers multiple subscriptions, you may specify the subscription when invoking the subscribed method:

if ($user->subscribed('default')) {

If you would like to determine if a user is still within their trial period, you may use the onTrial method. This method can be useful for determining if you should display a warning to the user that they are still on their trial period:If you would like to determine if a user is still within their trial period, you may use the onTrial method. This method can be useful for determining if you should display a warning to the user that they are still on their trial period:

The subscribedToPrice method may be used to determine if the user is subscribed to a given plan based on a given Paddle price ID. In this example, we will determine if the user's default subscription is actively subscribed to the monthly price:The subscribedToPrice method may be used to determine if the user is subscribed to a given plan based on a given Paddle price ID. In this example, we will determine if the user's default subscription is actively subscribed to the monthly price:

You may also determine if a user has canceled their subscription, but are still on their "grace period" until the subscription fully expires. For example, if a user cancels a subscription on March 5th that was originally scheduled to expire on March 10th, the user is on their "grace period" until March 10th. In addition, the subscribed method will still return true during this time:You may also determine if a user has canceled their subscription, but are still on their "grace period" until the subscription fully expires.

Past Due StatusPast Due Status

If a payment fails for a subscription, it will be marked as past_due. When your subscription is in this state it will not be active until the customer has updated their payment information. You may determine if a subscription is past due using the pastDue method on the subscription instance:If a payment fails for a subscription, it will be marked as past_due.

$user->subscription()->cancel();

When a subscription is canceled, Cashier will automatically set the ends_at column in your database. This column is used to determine when the subscribed method should begin returning false. For example, if a customer cancels a subscription on March 1st, but the subscription was not scheduled to end until March 5th, the subscribed method will continue to return true until March 5th. This is done because a user is typically allowed to continue using an application until the end of their billing cycle.When a subscription is canceled, Cashier will automatically set the ends_at column in your database.
