Live in four steps.

    A file for the installer, or a link to your download page, with Personal and Pro variants if you need them.

  2. Wire the unlock

    Add a webhook for order.completed and order.refunded, and optionally a callback URL that sends buyers back to your app with their order id.

  3. Add a buy button

    Link to the hosted checkout, embed it on your site, or open a session from your app with the API.

  4. Ship updates

    Replace the file to ship a new version, or move buyers to a yearly plan for updates.

// faq

Common questions.

How does my app know someone paid?

Add a webhook for order.completed (and order.refunded). Your server receives the order with the buyer's email, verifies the HMAC-SHA256 signature, and unlocks Pro. A callback URL can also send the buyer straight back to your app with their order id.

Does Pocketsflow generate license keys?

No. Your server issues the key or unlocks the account from the webhook, and can email it to the buyer. That keeps your license logic in your code.

Can I sell in-app purchases inside iOS or Android apps?

Pocketsflow sells on the web: a hosted or embedded checkout. Follow your app store's rules for in-app sales; many developers sell desktop apps, plugins, extensions and web upgrades this way.

How do I ship updates to buyers?

Replace the file on the product and new downloads get the new version, or sell a yearly subscription that covers updates.

Can I offer Personal and Team licenses?

Yes. Use variants on one product, each with its own price, or publish separate products.

What does it cost?

No monthly fee and no setup fee. Each sale carries one itemized transaction cost, 4.7% + $0.30 estimated (about $5.00 on a $100 sale), covering the platform, payment infrastructure, tax handling and dispute prevention. Above $10,000 a month in sales, talk to us about reduced fees.

Who handles sales tax and VAT?

Pocketsflow is the Merchant of Record. By default it calculates, collects and remits eligible sales tax and VAT on every sale, handles fraud checks and chargebacks, and sends the buyer an invoice. You can also choose to remit tax yourself in Settings, Taxes.

Can my AI do this for me?

Yes. Add the Pocketsflow MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok, Cursor or any MCP client, sign in and click Allow access. No API key. Your AI can then create products, set prices and discounts, open checkouts, read orders and send emails, and every change shows up in your dashboard.
