Make Recurring Income Selling Software or Services

Using the WooCommerce API Manager, WooCommerce Products are transformed into an API Resource, which can then be accessed using an API Key (also known as a Licence Key). API Resources (products) can be anything that can be accessed over the internet, such as software, a service, an iPhone or Android App, a membership, a subscription, or a paid subscription to a publication. The varieties of Products known as Simple, Variable, Simple Subscription, Variable Subscription, and Group are the ones that are utilised the most frequently. The WooCommerce Subscriptions extension, which enables the automatic collection of payments on the anniversary of the subscription’s renewal date, is used to build product types for subscriptions. There is also support for API access expiration time limits for built-in WooCommerce product purchases that require human purchase renewal. This type of renewal must be performed by an administrator.

How does it work? The consumer purchases a Product (API Resource) that comes with either a predetermined number of activations or an infinite amount of activations associated with an API Key. Access to the API Resource, which is managed by WooCommerce API Manager, is granted to the customer upon presentation of the API Key. If there is an expiration time associated with the API Resource, access to it will continue uninterrupted until that time arrives. The WooCommerce API Manager is fully compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions, making it possible to control API Resource time in an even more sophisticated manner.
