Licensing

Now, onto the Licensing part. Appsero will ask you a question, Whether you want to manage your plugin ‘s license through Appsero or not. Now, we recommend choosing “Yes;“

Then you can use every feature of Appsero including Analytics, Licensing & Deployment. So it is recommended to select Yes.

Then the Fastspring platform.

You will be asked to connect your FastSpring account. Login to your FastSpring account and go to Integration.

Go to the API credentials. There you will find There you will find your API Username and API Password.

There click on Reset Credentials to generate your new password.

Now, after collecting the credentials, select “I have my FastSpring API username & API password ready“. inside Appsero Dashboard.

Then add the API username and API password from your FastSpring account.

You must create product at FastSpring first in order to sync them with your Appsero account. Otherwise Appsero will not be able map your products.

If you have already created the product, then check ”I have my products ready at FastSpring”. Otherwise, create your FastSpring product. Then you will be provided with a Webhook. Click to copy it.

Click on the Webhooks option on your FastSpring Account and select “Add Webhook“

Go to your FastSpring account and paste the Webhook URL and select all the options.

Now, you need to add your product to Appsero.

You must add the same pricing of the product as you have added in FastSpring. If you add $15 at FastSpring and $10 at Appsero, then if you sell your products from FastSpring at $15, Appsero will count that as $10 and show the analytics based on that.

You can also set your activation limits if you want. If your product has recurring payment, you should check the Enable Recurring Payment.

If your product has variations like “Free” and ” Pro”, then you can enable “This Plugin has variations“. Then you can add both the products.

After that click on Submit to continue.

Then, select your site store and project and click on Update Connection.

If you have variations in product, then you need to map accordingly.

If haven’t added a website, don’t worry. Just click on the Add New Website button to add your website.
