Paddle developer documentation

Explains how to develop extra functionality, in the form of Paddle apps, for the Drupal 7 Paddle distribution.

A Paddle app can be installed by non technical users with sufficient permissions. They log in to their Paddle website, navigate to the Paddle Store and choose an app to install.

Development environment

You can use the same development environment the Paddle maintainers use. Years of testing several tools have lead to this selection: - Integrated development environment: PhpStorm. - Local web server: Paddle VM, built on the strong foundation of Drupal VM. Read how to use Paddle VM.
