Information

Some merchants will want to assign Activation Codes to certain digital content (usually software). You are given three options; None, Assign from list or Retrieve real-time.


Make your selection by clicking on one of the three radio buttons to the left of the options.

  • None

Make this selection if NO activation codes are needed. No other action is necessary.

  • Assign from list

Once you select this choice, the section will expand to allow you to configure your list.

A limit of 3,000 codes should be used, when using a list of codes. If you need more then 3000 codes, we recommend using the Real time list.



First enter a description that you want to appear on the receipt. Then enter your codes, one per line (hit 'enter' at the end of each line). Lastly, enter the "Low Warning Threshold".

  • Retrieve real time

Check this selection if you want the customer to obtain the activation code from a designated URL. Enter the URL in the box provided. Also enter the "Shared Secret"
