WordPress Plugin License Management

Sell & manage licenses
for your WordPress plugins

LicenseKit handles payments, license key generation, activation limits, and automatic plugin updates — so you can focus on building great plugins.

How it works

A complete licensing stack for independent WordPress plugin developers

1

Customers purchase a license

Buyers choose a plan and complete checkout. A license key is generated and delivered instantly.

2

Activate on their site

The customer enters their license key in your plugin settings. LicenseKit validates it via API and tracks the activation.

3

Receive automatic updates

WordPress calls the update API to check for new versions. Licensed sites download updates directly from LicenseKit.

Everything you need
