🔐 License Activation for SecurePay Bridge
To ensure SecurePay Bridge functions properly and securely, activating your license is a mandatory step. This guide walks you through the activation process and explains how it safeguards the customer journey between your High Risk and Low Risk stores.
📋 What You Need
- License Key – A unique string that identifies your license.
- License Token – A secondary code used for authentication and validation.
You receive both upon purchasing a plan from SecurePay Bridge.
⚙️ Where to Enter the License
The license is activated on your Low Risk Store (Site B). To enter the details:
- Login to your WordPress Admin Dashboard on Site B.
- Go to WooCommerce > SecurePay Bridge.
- Locate the License Section.
- Paste your License Key and Token into their respective fields.
- Click Check License Now.
🔄 What Happens When You Click "Check License Now"
When you click the button, the plugin sends the following data securely to the central SecurePay Bridge license server:
- Your License Key
- Your License Token
- The domain name of your Site B (e.g.,
yourstore-b.com
)
The server at https://auth.securepaybridge.net/license-check.php
will validate the credentials and return one of several statuses:
- Valid – License is active and domain is matched.
- Invalid – Key or token is incorrect.
- Expired – License has reached its expiration date.
The plugin then stores this validation status in the Site B WordPress database and displays it on the settings page along with the license type and expiration date.
🚨 Why Activation Is Critical
License validation isn't just for administrative control – it's an enforced step during live transactions:
- After a customer completes payment on Site B, the plugin checks the license status.
- If the license is
valid
, the customer is redirected back to the Thank You page on Site A. - If the license is
invalid
or missing, the redirection fails.
Instead of reaching the confirmation page, the customer is redirected to a fallback license validation page:
https://securepaybridge.net/license-validation/
⚠️ Without a valid license, the core redirection flow from Site B to Site A breaks completely.
🧠 Additional Notes
- Admin notices will alert you if your license is missing, invalid, or expired.
- The current license status is always visible in the plugin settings.
- You can update your key or token at any time and revalidate instantly.
License activation links your key and token to your Site B domain. It is the foundation of the security and functionality of SecurePay Bridge.
