What is Paddle Checkout?
Merchant-of-record billing: products, prices, client tokens, and notification webhooks handled by Paddle. Generated SaaS apps charge globally without assembling tax, invoicing, and dunning themselves.
Example
A Pro plan becomes a Paddle product with monthly/yearly prices; checkout opens overlay-style and fulfillment fires only after webhook verification.

The cross-provider setup order: products, prices, client tokens, notifications, checkout, webhooks — with clear env ownership per step. Orchestration prevents half-wired billing that charges nobody or everyone.
