Before your first sale

Questions about selling license keys.

Does BIG validate or revoke software activations?

Key delivery and software activation are different systems. Your application or licensing provider must handle validation, device limits and revocation.

Can I deliver a file with a key?

BIG supports files and licence keys. Test your exact product and variant setup so the correct edition reaches the buyer.

What if my key inventory runs out?

Plan inventory monitoring and test the app’s behaviour before launch. Do not promise unlimited availability without replenishment.

Can I sell third-party game keys?

Only distribute keys you are authorised to sell. Check the publisher’s terms, region restrictions and Shopify’s applicable rules.
