Digital products with licenses are ideal for e-sim, software, and other products that distribute unique license codes to their customers.

Creating a Digital License Product

  • Go to Admin > Products > Create Product

  • Change the Type to "Digital"

  • Save your product


This unlocks additional License product settings button.

Managing Licenses

Once you've saved the product with Digital type, you'll see a Manage License in the product settings. Clicking on it will lead you to the License Manager.

Adding License

You can add license by clicking on Create Licenses on the upper right.

This will open up a pop-up where you can input all the license keys you want to sell.


Once you've keyed in al the licenses separated by newlines, press add.

Updating License

You can always click on the word "Assigned" or "Available" to change the status of your license

Assigned - Means license is being used by a customer.

Available - Means license is not being used by any customer.

Deleting License

To delete a license, simply tick all the boxes and press "Delete"
