How to use a Righthand with Paddle
Prepare a reviewed transaction-to-subscription evidence map from approved Paddle inputs, with a worked example, complete brief, access checks, and reconciliation.
Quick answer
Use approved Paddle transaction and subscription records to prepare an evidence map for billing operations. The map should explain which transaction belongs to which subscription and where the evidence remains incomplete.
Start with a transaction-to-subscription evidence map that the billing operations reviewer can check against the original records. Righthand prepares the review artifact; the source application remains the operational record.
Establish the input route
Paddle’s transaction reference describes transactions as billing records connected with purchases and subscription billing. Official Paddle reference, checked October 6, 2026.
Have the billing owner provide the permitted transaction slice and matching subscription references. Record the environment and extraction time. A sandbox record must never be silently mixed into a production customer review; verify the account context before any connected read.
Check the current integration directory and Righthand setup documentation. A listed app does not establish every read or write action. For a connected route, verify the assigned account, available operation, object scope, and one permitted sample read. This guide also works from an explicitly supplied, approved extract; it does not require an unverified native operation. Keep credentials out of the article brief.
Worked input and output
These three records are synthetic illustrations, not customer results or a hands-on integration test.
| Approved input | Proposed review output |
|---|---|
| P71: transaction links subscription SUB1 | Attach transaction evidence to SUB1’s review row |
| P72: customer matches SUB1; subscription link absent | Flag missing relation rather than inventing it from customer identity |
| P73: subscription active; transaction state unresolved | Keep subscription state separate from payment evidence |
The output should make the relationship itself reviewable. P72 needs a link from an authoritative source, not an assumption that one customer has one subscription. P73 also shows why an active subscription label cannot answer every question about its associated billing event.
A complete first-run brief
Use approved Paddle transaction and subscription extracts for October 12–16, 2026. Fields: environment, transaction ID, subscription ID, customer reference, transaction state, currency, total, billed period, updated time. At Monday 9 AM America/Los_Angeles, prepare a transaction-to-subscription evidence map as source-linked Markdown in my private review thread. Preserve record identities and the extract timestamp. Group unresolved items by next action and responsible owner. Reviewer: billing operations reviewer. Do not collect payments, cancel subscriptions, create adjustments, issue refunds, or contact customers. Result check: Confirm each transaction/subscription relationship by ID and preserve currency and billing-period boundaries.
A permitted preparation step does not authorize a consequential write or an external send. Resolve proposed changes through the app's supported process after the responsible owner approves their exact scope.
Reconcile before widening the task
An event timestamp may describe a later update rather than the original billing period. A list view may omit records on another page. Compare the complete approved slice and note its filters before describing missing relations as absent in Paddle itself.
Trial one subscription cohort at the billing desk. Ask the owner to locate P72’s missing relation and decide whether more source data is needed. Keep any cancellation or refund discussion separate from the evidence-map acceptance review.
For the first acceptance review, keep the original input slice beside the result and mark which items were checked. If access or evidence is incomplete, return that gap with its record identity rather than a confident completion statement. Review Pricing using the actual preparation workload and correction effort.
