Software licenses

Sell software licenses without bolting together your own checkout and delivery stack.

2DL (2Download) handles hosted checkout, license-key issuance per purchase, entitlement-backed downloads, and refund-aware access from your own site.


A cleaner workflow for software licenses

Software sellers usually need more than a zip file. You need checkout, order state, license issuance, secure delivery, and a way to keep access aligned when payment status changes. 2DL gives you that stack without forcing you into a marketplace storefront.

What 2DL helps you centralize

Hosted checkout

Sell from WordPress or any website while using Stripe Checkout for payment collection and a hosted backend for order state.

License keys per purchase

Issue a license key for each purchase and use the verification endpoint to support software-license workflows.

Secure download delivery

Deliver installers, zips, or update packages through entitlement-backed signed links instead of permanent file URLs.

Recommended workflow

  1. Create your software product in 2DL and upload the downloadable package.
  2. Connect Stripe and publish a sales page on your own website.
  3. Use 2DL checkout so each paid purchase creates the order, entitlement, and license key.
  4. Use entitlement-backed signed links for downloads and keep access aligned when refunds or disputes occur.

What to look for when you sell software licenses

  • License issuance per purchase.
  • A verification endpoint for downstream license checks.
  • Secure delivery for installers or zipped assets.
  • Refund-aware access controls for post-purchase cleanup.
