Link a Paddle account in Settings > Payments by pasting an API key, live or sandbox. A completed Paddle checkout issues the license key, refunds covering the whole payment or a chargeback take it back, a chargeback Paddle wins back returns it, and renewals and cancellations follow the subscription. The checkout lookup takes a Paddle transaction id, and the customer portal's Manage billing opens Paddle's portal.
Turn on Key pickup for a product and your app can restore a customer's license with a code sent to the email they bought with, no key to type, as App Store builds need. Call restoreByEmail(email, code) after pickUp(email).
GET /v1/licenses/:key/activations lists the devices a license is active on, the most recently seen first, each with the activation id that DELETE /v1/licenses/:key/activations/:id frees.
Sell a feature a set number of times. A license model can count uses of an export or a render, per key or per billing period, and the app spends them with use(meter, n). Online a spend is exact; offline it comes from a small allowance, so an outage never locks out a paying customer.
A license model can now ask for the buyer's email, or for a six-digit code sent to it, before a key activates on a new device. Devices that already hold a seat are never asked. Pass { email, code } to activate.
A license model can send its key as a signed file buyers drop onto your app, or as an offline license file that works with no connection at all. Buyers can download the file again from the customer portal, and keygrant licenses file fetches it from the CLI.
