What happens when a user places an order?
Once the checkout link is published on your store and a user places an order, you will receive an email notification. Upon transaction approval, the user will be given the download link and a license key. The user will then download and install your product. Once launched the user will be prompted to enter the license key to gain access. As long as the user continues their payments, they will retain access to your software.
