In order to configure Paddle subscriptions, you should add the Checkout component and set up it as follows:

Introductory offers

An introductory offer (discount on the first payment) is implemented in Paddle through coupons that can be applied to a subscription.

Expected behavior: When a coupon for an introductory offer is applied, the first payment is discounted. Subsequent charges will be at the full subscription rate.

1. Create a subscription product in the Catalog menu
2. Create a discount in the the Catalog menu
3. Select the added subscription and the discount in the Paddle checkout in FunnelFox.

Paid Trial

Starting June 2025, we have two setups for Paid trials: Trial → Paid and Legacy Trial → Paid

We recommend using the Trial → Paid option:
