License key delivery
Logistics Shepherd: License
Generate and deliver license keys without a separate licensing system.
Sell software, activation codes, and entitlements. Every purchase generates a unique, branded license key and delivers it to the buyer. Refunds can revoke the key from admin. No licensing backend to build or rent.
- One unique key per unit ordered, generated on order completion
- Branded key format with optional merchant prefix (e.g. SHP-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
- Cryptographically random segments with collision retry
- Customers retrieve keys from their completed orders
- Public validation API: check validity, revocation, SKU, and product
- Revocation support for refunds and chargebacks
From paid order to working key.
Mark a product's delivery type as license and the fulfillment dispatcher handles the rest: keys generate per seat at order completion, link to the order, product, and SKU, and appear on the customer's order page. Idempotent by design; retries never mint duplicates.
- Automatic generation on order completion
- Quantity-aware: five seats ordered, five keys issued
- Keys stored privately, exposed only to the order owner
- Idempotent fulfillment safe against re-runs
Validation your app can call.
Your software calls one public endpoint with a key and gets back validity, revocation status, the SKU, product title, and order invoice. Enough to gate activation without building your own licensing service.
- Public POST /validate endpoint
- Returns valid, revoked, SKU, product, and invoice ID
- Revoke keys from admin when orders are refunded
