Data mapping: Paddle Classic and Paddle Billing

All the data in Paddle Classic can be mapped to Paddle Billing, but as a complete reimagining of how you work with the Paddle platform, some of the data doesn't map one-to-one.

After you activate Paddle Billing for your account, you get access to Paddle Billing data alongside your Paddle Classic data. Paddle Billing and Paddle Classic share some core settings, but most data is separate. This includes customer, catalog, and subscription data. To move fully to Paddle Billing, you need to replace your integration with Paddle Classic with an integration that uses the Paddle Billing API, webhooks, and Paddle.js v2.

This guide walks through how data in Paddle Classic maps to data in Paddle Billing at a technical level. You can use it to understand how you should build your integration with Paddle Billing.

Porting subscription data from Paddle Classic to Paddle Billing is in early access.
