Generating License Renewal & Payment Method Update Links

Our platform provides a Customer Portal from where your customers can self-serve to renew expired licenses or update billing methods.

However, sometimes sharing a direct link helps in quicker conversion.

To help you quickly generate such links without any code:

  1. Log in to the Freemius Developer Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Products tab and select your product.
  3. Go to the Licenses section.
  4. Search for the relevant license using the customer's license ID or key.
  5. Scroll horizontally to license row and click the 3-dot option icon to expose the available actions.
  6. Click on the Copy Renewal Link button that will copied to your clipboard.
  7. Share the link with your customer.

When the customer clicks the link, a secure page will open the checkout with the license key prefilled for the customer to renew their license or update their payment method.

You can automate the link generation using the API. There are a variety of parameters with which you can specify new plans, quota or billing cycles (See the API endpoint documentation).

If you skip all those parameters, then a manual renewal link will be generated instead.
