Match Paddle Products
In order to start syncing data between DevMate and Paddle you need to connect your Paddle & DevMate account. This is explained in taking payments.
The process for mapping products between Paddle & DevMate differs for existing products in Paddle, or if setting up products for the first time.
Existing Products
You can sync the sale & refund data of any existing Paddle product with DevMate. Do this following the steps below.
- Login to your Paddle dashboard, and ensure your DevMate account is connected (as above).
- Next to each product on your Products will be a DevMate button.
- For any products not yet connected to a DevMate product, the indicator on the DevMate button will be greyed out. For any products already connected to DevMate, this indicator will be green in colour.
- After clicking the DevMate button on a product not yet connected, a pop-up will appear asking you to match your Paddle product to the same product in DevMate. Simply, select the corresponding products from the drop-down list.
- Click, Save Connection.
Thereafter Paddle & DevMate will begin syncing future sale and refund data between the two platforms.
