Connect Paddle Revenue to Traffic Sources

Yes — DataSaaS works with Paddle. Connect Paddle (merchant of record) and pass the DataSaaS visitor ID so tax-inclusive checkouts still attribute revenue to the channels and pages that converted.

How to set up

1. 1

   Open Revenue Settings

   Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Revenue and select Paddle as your payment provider.

2. 2

   Enter your Paddle API key

   Generate an API key in your Paddle dashboard under Developer Tools > Authentication. Paste it into DataSaaS. The key is encrypted at rest and used only server-side to fetch transaction data.

3. 3

   Pass visitor ID in Paddle checkout

   Add the DataSaaS visitor ID as custom data in your Paddle checkout. This links each transaction to the visitor who made the purchase, enabling full source attribution.

   Paddle.Checkout.open({
     items: [{ priceId: 'pri_xxx', quantity: 1 }],
     customData: {
       datasaas_visitor_id: getCookie('datasaas_visitor_id'),
     },
     settings: {
       successUrl: 'https://yourdomain.com/success',
     },
   });

4. 4

   Verify the connection

   Complete a test purchase using Paddle sandbox mode. Within seconds, the transaction should appear in your DataSaaS revenue dashboard attributed to your current traffic source.
