App Overview & Features

Shopify License Management Features

One system for every key you issue
PayDrop Licenses is built as a complete Shopify license key app: license generation, activation tracking, renewals, and revocations all live in the same dashboard as your Shopify orders and customers.

Generate License Keys Automatically for Shopify Products

Enable licensing on any Shopify product and configure the key format, activation limit, and expiry. This works for any digital product type, from downloadable courses to ebook bundles that include a license. Every qualifying order automatically receives a unique license key based on those settings.

Manage Customer Licenses From One Shopify Dashboard

The Customers page rolls up total orders, license count, most recent license, and last activity for every buyer, synced straight from Shopify. A support conversation starts with the full picture instead of a search through order history.

Give Customers Self-Service Access to License Keys

Customers can view the licenses they own, copy their keys, check activation counts, see expiry dates, and understand whether a license is active, expired, or revoked without contacting support.

Track License Usage, Activations, and Revenue

Active licenses, active activations, revenue, and total keys issued sit on one screen, next to an activations trend chart and a breakdown of licenses by product. Recent device activations list the exact key, product, customer, and hostname behind every new activation.

Extend, Renew, Regenerate, or Revoke Any License Key

Open any license and see its status, product, customer, order, activation count, and expiry date, with Extend, Renew, Regenerate Key, and Revoke sitting right there as buttons, not support tickets. A compromised key gets shut down in the time it takes to click once.

Manage Every Shopify License Key in One List

Search by license key, product, or customer, filter licenses by status, and sort them by creation date across every key in the store. The same row-level actions from the detail page- extend, renew, revoke, regenerate- are available without opening each license individually, and controls disable themselves once a key is already revoked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testimonials

Managing licenses manually became a real headache once our customer base started growing. PayDrop gives us a much clearer view of every key, who owns it, how many activations it has, and when it expires. It has made handling license requests much easier for our support team.

Michael Turner

CodeCraft Solutions

We wanted customers to be able to find their license keys without having to email us every time they changed devices or needed to check an expiry date. The self-service portal has taken a lot of those small support requests off our plate, and our customers get the information they need much faster.

Sarah Collins

PixelForge Studio

The ability to revoke, renew, or regenerate a key from the same dashboard has been especially useful for us. We previously kept track of licenses in spreadsheets, so having the keys connected to the Shopify orders and customer records makes the whole process much easier to manage.

Andrew Reynolds

NovaTech Software

From an impact standpoint, we went from 0 to 1 to some degree. We had nothing when we first started and now we have a full product that we are proud to put in front of users and investors. We got new users and saw a 25% improvement over the days following the launch. Plus, the team also came 20% under budget which is huge!
