# How to Integrate Paddle with Fluent Forms

[Paddle](http://paddle.com) is a payment processing platform that allows **Fluent Forms** payment options and a smooth and secure payment experience. This article will guide you through integrating**Paddle**into your **WordPress** **Site** with the ** Fluent Forms**plugin.

> Remember, **Paddle Integration**is a **Premium Feature** of the **Fluent Forms Plugin**. So, you need the [Fluent Forms Pro](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-upgrade-to-fluent-forms-pro/) plugin to integrate this.

## Enable Paddle Payment Method

First, go to **Global Settings**from the **Fluent Forms Navbar**, open the **Payment**tab from the left sidebar, and click the **Payment Methods**option.

Now, go to **Paddle** in the top navbar and click **Enable Paddle Payment Method.** The **Paddle Payment Method** will be enabled globally for all forms.

## Configure Paddle with Fluent Forms

Once you enable the **Paddle**, all the required settings will appear to configure the Paddle with Fluent Forms. 

Before starting the configuration, select any **Payment Mode** between **Test** (for test payments) and **Live**(for real payments) as both options follow the same process, e.g., I choose the **Test Mode**.

Then, you need to obtain the**API  Key** and **Client Token**from your **Paddle Account**.

## Integrate Paddle in Forms

Once you finish setting up your **Paddle** payment method, you can easily add this payment method to any of your existing **Payment Forms** (i.e., a form where [Payment Item](https://fluentforms.com/docs/add-payment-item-field-in-payment-forms/) and [Payment Method](https://fluentforms.com/docs/add-payment-method-field-in-payment-forms/) fields are added).

First, go to the **Editor** page of your desired form by clicking its **Edit** option.

Once you are on the **Editor** page, go to the **Input** **Customization** menu on the right side of the added **Payment Method** field by clicking the **Pencil Icon**.

Now, go to the **Payment Methods**, check the **Paddle** option, click the **Dropdown Arrow,** and you will get the option to change the **Method Label** based on your preference.
