Overview
Selling software can involve creating product keys, sending them to customers, and keeping track of their use. This plugin handles key generation and delivery through order confirmation emails, then gives store owners tools to view and manage keys and activations. Software-specific settings are available from the product edit page, so sellers can set activation limits and upgrade options for each product.
Customers can enter existing product details when purchasing an upgrade, and the plugin can apply an upgrade price. Store owners can review key and activation records from WooCommerce orders and a dedicated dashboard. Built-in APIs support key generation, validation, activation, deactivation, and resets, making the plugin suited to software sellers who want their store to coordinate sales with their software or web application.
