Description ----------- [](#description) The Certify Client is a composer package that provides a license activation and verification solution for custom WordPress plugins. In order to use Certify Client, you must have the Certify Server installed on your server. Certify Server is a free WordPress plugin which enables you to manage licenses for your custom WordPress plugins and provides custom update repository to handle plugin updates. Features -------- [](#features) - Verify license keys issued by the Certify Server - Integrate license verification into your plugin with ease, using our simple and intuitive API - Limit number of activations per license - Generate license for multiple plugins - Integrated with [Paddle.com](https://www.paddle.com) subscriptions Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP >= 8.2 - Composer - [Certify Server](https://github.com/code-soup/certify) installed on your server Setup ----- [](#setup) 1. Install composer package ``` composer require code-soup/certify-client ``` 2. Initialise Certify Client class ``` $certify = \CodeSoup\CertifyClient\Init::get_instance(); $certify->init([ 'plugin_id' => 'my-plugin-folder-name', 'plugin_version' => '0.0.1', 'cache_allowed' => true, 'certify_server_origin' => 'https://my.website.com', 'license_key' => '12345-12345-12345-12345-12345' ]); ``` ### Configuration Options [](#configuration-options) --- The `init` method takes an array of configuration options, which are used to configure the plugin. The following options are available: - `plugin_id`: The folder name of your plugin (e.g., `my-plugin-folder-name`). - `plugin_version`: The version of your plugin (e.g., `0.0.1`). - `cache_allowed`: A boolean indicating whether caching is allowed (default: `true`). This saves certify server response in transient which expires each day. This way only 1 request per day is made to your server - `certify_server_origin`: The origin URL of the Certify server (e.g., `https://my.website.com`). - `license_key`: The license key for your plugin (e.g., `12345-12345-12345-12345-12345`). Validate License Key -------------------- [](#validate-license-key) --- You can then simply validate license key against certify server: ``` $certify->validate(); ``` Response: ``` { "valid": true, "expiry": 1748995200 } ``` - `valid`: Days left to expire > 0 AND activations limit is not yet reached. This would also mean that user is allowed to install plugin update. - `expiry`: Timestamp when key is about to expire In case of any error following is returned: ``` { "valid": false, "expiry": 0 } ``` Issues ------ [](#issues) Please use [Github issues](https://github.com/code-soup/certify-client/issues) to submit any bugs you may find.
