Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my Payhip licenses?

You can ask your agent to check if a key is valid, see how many times it has been used, or kill a key for a refund. This gives you a direct way to control access without opening the Payhip dashboard. You get full control over your digital product distribution through your chat interface.

License outcomes

Where your license data lands.

These are the specific results you get from your AI.

VALIDATION

Instant key checks

The AI confirms if a specific license key is active. You get an immediate answer on whether a customer's key is legitimate.

TRACKING

Usage monitoring

Your agent looks up how many times a single key has been activated. This helps you spot shared keys or excessive usage.

ENFORCEMENT

Revoking access

If you need to handle a refund, the AI can shut down a key. This prevents further use of the product by the refunded user.

HUMAN

Manual decisions

The AI handles the technical checks and updates, but you decide which keys to disable or re-enable based on your own policies.

The workflow

What your AI does when a license request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and your Payhip store.

  1. Verify validity

    The AI checks the provided key against your Payhip data to see if it is still active.

    verify_license

  2. Monitor activations

    The agent pulls the current activation count for a specific key to ensure it stays within your limits.

    update_license_usage

  3. Disable keys

    When a refund is processed, the AI marks the key as invalid so it can no longer be used.

    disable_license

  4. Restore access

    If a customer disputes a charge, the AI can reactivate a previously disabled key.

    enable_license
