Ask HN: Alternatives to Gumroad for "software licenses"?
I am looking for alternatives to Gumroad to sell “software licenses” / “activation codes” / “serial numbers” online.
I have seen several similar platforms that focus on selling digital assets (files) but not activation codes.
I could either upload a list of pregenerated codes to the platform, or have the platform generate the codes with an API to validate them. Both would be fine.
I need that the platform acts as a merchant of record (to handle VAT in different countries). This basically means that the platform would be invoicing users, and I would be invoicing the platform.
I would also need to be able to translate the product description to different languages (this is something that Gumroad cannot do — they force you to create different products) and also support EUR as a currency.
