Paddle Integration
SaleMint connects your WooCommerce store directly to Paddle's API using your Paddle API key and client-side token. When a customer places an order, the plugin opens Paddle's hosted checkout — either as a modal overlay or a full-page redirect, your choice. Once payment is completed, Paddle sends a confirmation back to your store, and the plugin automatically syncs the final order totals — including any tax Paddle calculated — back to your WooCommerce order. No manual reconciliation needed.
