What does key delivery software do?
It does the work that sits between a paid order and a buyer holding a key. Here is one order, by hand and with software.
| Step | By hand | With delivery software |
|---|---|---|
| Order is paid | By hand: you see it when you next check. | Software: picked up as soon as it is paid. |
| Key is chosen | By hand: copied from a file. | Software: reserved from your stock. |
| Key is sent | By hand: pasted into a message. | Software: delivered to the buyer. |
| Order is closed | By hand: marked shipped in the seller panel. | Software: marked shipped for you on store channels. |
| Other listings | By hand: each count edited. | Software: updated from the same stock. |
When do I need it?
Count the minutes. Say an order takes 2 minutes by hand: find it, copy the key, send it, close it, fix the other counts.
That is an example, so use your own numbers in the time savings calculator. The other sign is the clock. If orders arrive while you sleep, buyers wait until morning.
What should I check before I choose?
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does it connect the channels I sell on? | Marketplaces and stores, including the ones you mean to add next year. |
| Is there one stock count? | If each listing keeps its own count, you can sell a key twice. |
| Does the buyer see my brand? | Your domain, your email, your template. |
| Is there a record for every order? | When a buyer says a key did not arrive, you need what was sent and when. |
| Can I load keys in bulk? | Typing keys one by one does not scale past a few products. |
| How do I pay? | A fixed monthly charge, or only for orders delivered. |
How does Keysender answer those checks?
Keysender connects 14 marketplaces and stores, listed on the integrations page. Your keys sit in one stock pool, and stock sync keeps every listing on that count. It helps prevent overselling. Keep a weekly stock check as well.
Orders deliver as soon as they are paid, from your own domain with your own template. Every order keeps a log of what was sent and when. You can import keys in bulk from a CSV or XLSX file. See delivery for the full path of an order.
On every channel except the digital marketplaces you can turn on fraud screening, which holds risky orders for your review. It is optional.
How is delivery software priced?
There are two shapes: a subscription, or a charge for each order delivered. Keysender uses the second. One dispatch is 1 credit, whatever the number of keys in the order. A fraud review, when you turn it on, is 1 more credit. A credit is as low as 6¢. For the arithmetic on both shapes, read pay per dispatch or pay a subscription.
