Tips & Tricks: Signing Up For and Activating a License Key
Is your business growing and are you expanding to more online platforms? If so, you’ll want to register your store with ShipWorks. We do this with a license key, which is a unique store identifier in ShipWorks that is assigned to your online marketplace.
If you’ve completed your free trial (or you want to dive right in), you can continue using ShipWorks by signing up for a license key. Every store you use in ShipWorks (an online marketplace or flat file integration like a CSVfile) will need to have it’s own license key.
This means:
If you have an Amazon store and an eBay store, you’ll need two license keys.
If you have a CSV file, a Magento store, and an Etsy store, you’ll need three licenses.
If you have a text file, two Amazon stores, and a 3D Cart store, you’ll need four licenses.
(You get the idea.)
