Upload, manage and automatically assign License Key values. This new feature allows merchants to easily and conveniently assign digital product keys.

NOTES:

  • A product record can have an unlimited number of License Key values

  • A License Key may contain number, letters and characters

  • A License Key has a maximum of 255 characters

  • A License Key value must be unique

  • You cannot assign a License Key to more than one product record

  • Currently, if you place a test order for a License Key product, the test order will assign a License Key to the order that cannot be released back into the available key list.

  • You must enable the option 'License Key Restricted' on at least one product record to be able to import product keys

3. Configure the Order Confirmation email template with the Product Key token

When a customer purchases a product enabled with a license key, you can use our system generated emails to deliver the product key values to your customers. The product keys can be formatted three different formats:

  • A list of the license keys for the product.

NOTE: if the order declines, the License Key values are released back to the pool to be assigned out

5. View the assigned product keys at the customer record

To make it easier for your customer service agents to look up a license key value, we have made this information easy to find with a customer search.
