Welcome to PackEdge

The first thing you'll see after creating an account is a three-step quickstart. It exists so you don't land on an empty dashboard wondering where to begin.

The flow walks through everything you need to start delivering licenses and updates to real customers.

Step 1 — Create your first product

A product in PackEdge is whatever you sell: a plugin, a theme, a CLI, an SDK. Each product has its own license keys, releases, and webhook subscriptions.

Click Add a product, give it a name and a public slug, and you're done. You can change either later.

Step 2 — Upload a release

A release is the actual file customers download. PackEdge serves it through signed URLs that expire so the same link can't be passed around forever.

Upload your distributable file (e.g. myplugin-1.2.3.zip) and set a version number. WordPress-flavoured products get an "Updates" feed wired automatically, so existing sites can auto-update through the standard WordPress update API.

Step 3 — Wire up the SDK

Each product has a public key the SDK uses to validate license keys on the customer's side. Open the product's Integrations → SDK tab, copy the snippet for your platform, and drop it into your code.

The first time the SDK calls back to PackEdge, the welcome flow marks this step done automatically — you don't need to confirm anything in the console.

Skipping the flow

A small "Skip for now" link in the footer dismisses the welcome page and takes you to the regular dashboard. The same dismissed flag drives the inline onboarding wizard, so the two surfaces never disagree.

You can come back to the welcome page any time at /welcome while you have zero products. Once you have at least one product, the dashboard renders normally and the inline onboarding wizard takes over for the remaining steps.
