Database MigrationsDatabase Migrations

The Cashier service provider registers its own database migration directory, so remember to migrate your database after installing the package. The Cashier migrations will create a new customers table. In addition, a new subscriptions table will be created to store all of your customer's subscriptions. Finally, a new receipts table will be created to store all of your receipt information:The Cashier service provider registers its own database migration directory, so remember to migrate your database after installing the package.

Pay LinksPay Links

Paddle lacks an extensive CRUD API to perform state changes. Therefore, most interactions with Paddle are done through its checkout widget. Before we can display the checkout widget, we will generate a "pay link" using Cashier:Paddle lacks an extensive CRUD API to perform state changes. Therefore, most interactions with Paddle are done through its checkout widget[https://developer.paddle.com/guides/how-tos/checkout/paddle-checkout]. Before we can display the checkout widget, we will generate a "pay link" using Cashier:

$user = User::find(1);

$payLink = $user->newSubscription('default', $premium = 34567)
    ->returnTo(route('home'))
    ->create();

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

Cashier includes a paddle-button Blade component. We may pass the pay link URL to this component as a "prop". When this button is clicked, Paddle's checkout widget will be displayed:Cashier includes a paddle-button Blade component. We may pass the pay link URL to this component as a "prop". When this button is clicked, Paddle's checkout widget will be displayed:

<x-paddle-button :url="$payLink" class="px-8 py-4">

By default, this will display a button with the standard Paddle styling. You can remove all Paddle styling by adding the data-theme="none" attribute to the component:By default, this will display a button with the standard Paddle styling.

The Paddle checkout widget is asynchronous. Once the user creates or updates a subscription within the widget, Paddle will send our application webhooks so that we may properly update the subscription state in our own database.

Therefore, it's important that you properly set up webhooks[#handling-paddle-webhooks] to accommodate for state changes from Paddle.

After a subscription state change, the delay for receiving the corresponding webhook is typically minimal but you should account for this in your application by considering that your user's subscription might not be immediately available after completing the checkout.After a subscription state change, the delay for receiving the corresponding webhook is typically minimal but you should account for this in your application by considering that your user's subscription might not be immediately available after completing the checkout.

Inline CheckoutInline Checkout

If you don't want to make use of the "overlay" style checkout widget, Paddle also has an option to display the widget inline. While this approach does not allow you to adjust any of the checkout's HTML fields, it allows you to embed the widget within your application.If you don't want to make use of the "overlay" style checkout widget, Paddle also has an option to display the widget inline.

User IdentificationUser Identification

In contrast to Stripe, Paddle users are unique across the whole of Paddle, not unique per Paddle account. Because of this, Paddle's API's do not currently provide a method to update a user's details such as their email address. When generating pay links, Paddle identifies users using the customer_email parameter. When creating a subscription, Paddle will try to match the user provided email to an existing Paddle user.In contrast to Stripe, Paddle users are unique across the whole of Paddle, not unique per Paddle account.

When generating pay links, Paddle identifies users using the customer_email parameter. When creating a subscription, Paddle will try to match the user provided email to an existing Paddle user.

In light of this behavior, there are some important things to keep in mind when using Cashier and Paddle. First, you should be aware that even though subscriptions in Cashier are tied to the same application user, they could be tied to different users within Paddle's internal systems. Secondly, each subscription has its own connected payment method information and could also have different email addresses within Paddle's internal systems (depending on which email was assigned to the user when the subscription was created).In light of this behavior, there are some important things to keep in mind when using Cashier and Paddle.

Secondly, each subscription has its own connected payment method information and could also have different email addresses within Paddle's internal systems (depending on which email was assigned to the user when the subscription was created).

Therefore, when displaying subscriptions you should always inform the user which email address or payment method information is connected to the subscription on a per-subscription basis. Retrieving this information can be done with the following methods on the Subscription model:Therefore, when displaying subscriptions you should always inform the user which email address or payment method information is connected to the subscription on a per-subscription basis.

$paymentMethod = $subscription->paymentMethod();
$cardBrand = $subscription->cardBrand();
$cardLastFour = $subscription->cardLastFour();
$cardExpirationDate = $subscription->cardExpirationDate();

There is currently no way to modify a user's email address through the Paddle API. When a user wants to update their email address within Paddle, the only way for them to do so is to contact Paddle customer support. When communicating with Paddle, they need to provide the paddleEmail value of the subscription to assist Paddle in updating the correct user.There is currently no way to modify a user's email address through the Paddle API.

CustomersCustomers

If a user is already a customer and you would like to display the prices that apply to that customer, you may do so by retrieving the prices directly from the customer instance:If a user is already a customer and you would like to display the prices that apply to that customer, you may do so by retrieving the prices directly from the customer instance:

use App\User;

// Retrieve prices for two products...
$prices = User::find(1)->productPrices([123, 456]);

Internally, Cashier will use the user's paddleCountry method to retrieve the prices in their currency. So, for example, a user living in the United States will see prices in USD while a user in Belgium will see prices in EUR. If no matching currency can be found the default currency of the product will be used.

SubscriptionsSubscriptions

Creating SubscriptionsCreating Subscriptions

To create a subscription, first retrieve an instance of your billable model, which typically will be an instance of App\User. Once you have retrieved the model instance, you may use the newSubscription method to create the model's subscription pay link:To create a subscription, first retrieve an instance of your billable model, which typically will be an instance of App\User. Once you have retrieved the model instance, you may use the newSubscription method to create the model's subscription pay link:

$payLink = $user->newSubscription('default', $premium = 12345)
    ->returnTo(route('home'))
    ->create();

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

The first argument passed to the newSubscription method should be the name of the subscription. If your application only offers a single subscription, you might call this default or primary. The second argument is the specific plan the user is subscribing to. This value should correspond to the plan's identifier in Paddle. The returnTo method accepts a URL that your user will be redirected to after they successfully complete the checkout.The first argument passed to the newSubscription method should be the name of the subscription.

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 active 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 active subscription, even if the subscription is currently within its trial period:

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

        // This user is not a paying customer...
        return redirect('billing');
    }

    return $next($request);
}

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 displaying 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 displaying a warning to the user that they are still on their trial period:

if ($user->subscription('default')->onTrial()) {

}

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

if ($user->subscribedToPlan($monthly = 12345, 'default')) {

}

By passing an array to the subscribedToPlan method, you may determine if the user's default subscription is actively subscribed to the monthly or the yearly plan:By passing an array to the subscribedToPlan method, you may determine if the user's default subscription is actively subscribed to the monthly or the yearly plan:

if ($user->subscribedToPlan([$monthly = 12345, $yearly = 54321], 'default')) {
    //
}

The recurring method may be used to determine if the user is currently subscribed and is no longer within their trial period:The recurring method may be used to determine if the user is currently subscribed and is no longer within their trial period:

if ($user->subscription('default')->recurring()) {

Cancelled Subscription StatusCancelled Subscription Status

To determine if the user was once an active subscriber, but has cancelled their subscription, you may use the cancelled method:To determine if the user was once an active subscriber, but has cancelled their subscription, you may use the cancelled method:

if ($user->subscription('default')->cancelled()) {
    //
}

You may also determine if a user has cancelled 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. Note that the subscribed method still returns true during this time:You may also determine if a user has cancelled 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. 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:

When a subscription is past due, you should instruct the user to update their payment information. You may configure how past due subscriptions are handled in your Paddle subscription settings.When a subscription is past due, you should instruct the user to update their payment information[#updating-payment-information]. You may configure how past due subscriptions are handled in your Paddle subscription settings[https://vendors.paddle.com/subscription-settings].

If you would like subscriptions to still be considered active when they are past_due, you may use the keepPastDueSubscriptionsActive method provided by Cashier. Typically, this method should be called in the register method of your AppServiceProvider:If you would like subscriptions to still be considered active when they are past_due, you may use the keepPastDueSubscriptionsActive method provided by Cashier.

Subscription single charges allow you to charge subscribers with a one-time charge on top of their subscriptions:Subscription single charges allow you to charge subscribers with a one-time charge on top of their subscriptions:

$response = $user->subscription('default')->charge(12.99, 'Support Add-on');

In contrast to single charges, this method will immediately charge the customer's stored payment method for the subscription. The charge amount is always in the currency of which the subscription currently is set to.In contrast to single charges[#single-charges], this method will immediately charge the customer's stored payment method for the subscription.

Updating Payment InformationUpdating Payment Information

Paddle always saves a payment method per subscription. If you want to update the default payment method for a subscription, you should first generate a subscription "update URL" using the updateUrl method on the subscription model:Paddle always saves a payment method per subscription. If you want to update the default payment method for a subscription, you should first generate a subscription "update URL" using the updateUrl method on the subscription model:

$user = App\User::find(1);

When a user has finished updating their information, a subscription_updated webhook will be dispatched by Paddle and the subscription details will be updated in your application's database.When a user has finished updating their information, a subscription_updated webhook will be dispatched by Paddle and the subscription details will be updated in your application's database.

Changing PlansChanging Plans

After a user has subscribed to your application, they may occasionally want to change to a new subscription plan. To swap a user to a new subscription, you should pass the Paddle plan's identifier to the subscription's swap method:After a user has subscribed to your application, they may occasionally want to change to a new subscription plan. To swap a user to a new subscription, you should pass the Paddle plan's identifier to the subscription's swap method:

$user = App\User::find(1);

Pausing SubscriptionsPausing Subscriptions

To pause a subscription, call the pause method on the user's subscription:To pause a subscription, call the pause method on the user's subscription:

$user->subscription('default')->pause();

When a subscription is paused, Cashier will automatically set the paused_from column in your database. This column is used to know when the paused method should begin returning true. For example, if a customer pauses a subscription on March 1st, but the subscription was not scheduled to recur until March 5th, the paused method will continue to return false until March 5th.When a subscription is paused, Cashier will automatically set the paused_from column in your database.
