Frequently Asked Questions

How does VeriKey differ from other licensing plugins?

VeriKey runs entirely on your own WordPress site. You own your data, control your API, and never depend on a third-party SaaS. It includes a REST API, client SDK, and auto-update server in one package.

How do I integrate licensing into my plugin?

Use the built-in SDK code generator. It creates a drop-in PHP class for your plugin that handles license activation, validation, and deactivation. Just copy the generated code into your project.

What does the REST API support?

The API provides endpoints for license activation, validation, deactivation, and update checks. All responses are JSON. You can also use it to build custom integrations or mobile apps.

How does the auto-update server work?

Upload your plugin ZIP to VeriKey. It serves update info through the standard WordPress update API. Your customers see updates in their WordPress dashboard just like any other plugin.

Can I lock licenses to specific domains?

Yes. Each license key can be bound to one or more domains. You set the maximum number of allowed domains per key. Activations are logged with domain and IP for auditing.

What happens when a license expires?

Expired licenses fail validation checks. Your plugin can then disable pro features, show an expiration notice, or take whatever action you configure in the SDK. Customers can renew to reactivate.
