To accurately connect users between Paddle and RevenueCat, you can choose from two integration options. Both approaches rely on storing a unique identifier in Paddle's metadata and referencing it in RevenueCat settings.


Option 1: Use platformUserID as Metadata

  1. Add platformUserID to Paddle Metadata
    When initiating a Paddle Checkout, include the platformUserID in the metadata.
    ​

  2. Store the ID During Account Creation
    During user sign-up, store this platformUserID.
    ​(Refer to the example in your catalog implementation.)


    ​

  3. Configure RevenueCat to Read the Metadata
    In your RevenueCat project settings, specify which metadata key (platformUserID) should be used to identify users.


​


Option 2: Collect Email via an Onboarding Screen

  1. Add a Separate Screen for Email Capture
    Add a screen in your onboarding flow to collect the user’s email address.
    ​

  2. Map the Email to Metadata in Onboarding.online
    In your onboarding configuration, define the metadata key where this email should be stored.
    ​

  3. Specify the Metadata Key in RevenueCat
    As with Option 1, configure RevenueCat to look for the correct metadata field to associate with the user.
