Key Features
- Automated Key Generation: Configure rules to automatically generate sequential or random license keys for any enabled product. Keys are assigned and delivered instantly after payment.
- Manual Key Entry: Enter keys one by one or use the bulk importer to load hundreds or thousands of pre-existing keys from CSV or TXT files.
- Encrypted Key Storage: All license keys stored in the database are encrypted, giving you peace of mind that your product keys are secure.
- Flexible Activation Controls: Require customers to activate their keys before accessing digital products. Control activation limits and revoke keys when orders are canceled or refunded.
- Built-in API Form: Include a ready-made validation form on any page using a shortcode, or use HTTP requests to validate, activate, and deactivate keys programmatically.
- Mass Import & Export: Import keys in bulk from CSV and TXT files. Export keys by order ID, status (available, sold, refunded), and custom fields like product ID and activation limits.
- Key Expiration Dates: Set expiration dates for keys, perfect for subscription-based products, time-limited access, or seasonal licensing.
- Twilio SMS Delivery: Send license keys directly to your customers via SMS using the Twilio API — faster and more reliable than email alone.

- Variable Product Support: Generate and assign keys to product variations, solving a common challenge for sellers of configurable digital products.
- Backorder Key Support: Sell keys for out-of-stock products and assign them with a single click once inventory is available.
- Legacy Order Key Assignment: Add keys to past orders retroactively, ensuring existing customers receive updates or access without hassle.

- Stock Expiration Notifications: Receive email alerts when your key inventory is running low or approaching expiration dates.
- Customizable Order Key Table: Choose exactly which key fields appear on the order details page and in confirmation emails.
