First request
One predictable API surface.
Use JSON over HTTPS, send your secret key in the authorization header, and give every write a unique idempotency key.
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.getpaddle.online/v1/accounts/virtual \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"customerReference":"cus_example"}'Live OpenAPI directory

Integration options
Build with the tools your team uses
Connect directly through REST, receive signed events, or embed supported Paddle flows.
REST API
HTTPS endpoints with JSON requests and responses
Webhooks
Signed events for asynchronous status updates
Paddle Elements
Embeddable flows for supported financial products
Sandbox
Test credentials and simulated transaction states
Webhooks
Signed events for every movement
Every payload is signed with HMAC-SHA256 and retried with backoff until you acknowledge it. Replay any event from the dashboard.
const sig = req.headers["x-paddle-signature"];
const expected = crypto
.createHmac("sha256", process.env.PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET)
.update(rawBody)
.digest("hex");
if (sig !== expected) return res.status(401).end();
// { "event": "virtual_account.credited",
// "data": { "amount": 5000000, "currency": "NGN" } }Pan-African ambition. Worldwide connections.
Built for Africa.
Connected to the world.
From a local launch to cross-border growth, bring collections, accounts, payouts and treasury together. Choose the products and payment routes that fit your business and destination.
Africa to the world
Connect your African business to customers, teams and suppliers through payouts to 150+ countries.
Get paid across borders
Dedicated global accounts in 18 currencies, with supported local clearing such as ACH, SEPA and Faster Payments.
Local expertise. Global reach.
Combine international accounts and FX with market-specific products — including Nigerian NUBANs, NIP transfers and local bill payments.
Availability depends on the product, country, currency, partner coverage and business verification. Nigerian NUBAN and NIP services are domestic rails, not worldwide payment methods.
