Add serial keys to your store one at a time. Useful when you have pre-existing keys and want to define each key’s properties, such as activation limit, validity period, and assigned product, before they go live.
Configuration Steps
- Go to Serial Numbers → Serial Keys → Add New from your WordPress admin menu.
- You will land on the Key Details page. Fill in the fields as needed. See the Available Options section below for details on each field.
- Click Save Key. The key will appear in the Serial Keys list table.
Available Options
- Product: Select the product this key belongs to. The key will be assigned to this product and delivered to customers who purchase it.
- Serial key: Enter the serial key value. Supports a pattern format using # characters, each # is replaced with a random alphanumeric character when the key is generated.
Example Pattern: ##########-##########-##########
Generated Output: 4CE0460D0G-4CE0460D1G-4CE0460D2G
You can also enter plain text keys directly without using the # pattern. Multi-line input is supported.
- Activation limit: Sets the maximum number of times the key can be used to activate the software. If the product is not software-based, leave this field blank.
- Valid for: Number of days the key remains valid, counted from the purchase date. Leave blank to grant lifetime validity with no expiration.
- Status: Sets the key’s current state. Choose from: Available, Pending, Sold, Expired, and Cancelled.
Set status to Available for new keys. The status updates automatically to match the order status. Avoid changing it manually after assignment. - Order ID: Assign this key directly to an existing order. Select the order number from the dropdown. Use this when a key needs to be linked to a past or manually created order.
After saving, the key appears in the Serial Keys list table and is ready for delivery.
