Create a system to license (and bill eventually) for using WARM #31
Comments
On further thought, using our built in licensing scheme available on waxm.newpathconsulting.com, we have generated a scenario in Integromat that creates license keys and checks them against an internal database via webhook.s WARM needs to be changed to allow free use of the Account and Contact endpoints. Access to all other endpoints needs to be restricted only with the use of a valid license key. The code needs to be changed to ensure a valid license key is checked either during data source configuration or when other endpoints are accessed. Invalid access key should throw up an error with details on how to obtain a valid key. Key licensing validation help text should be available on the data source configuration screen as well "To access all reporting objects, please purchase a license key for Pro Reports for Wild Apricot at https://newpathconsulting.com/warm. |
@1cookspe this scenario checks the license key with a webhook https://www.integromat.com/scenario/1767415/edit I'll give you access. |

When premium features of WARM become available, say summarized metrics for faster analysis, we will need to be able to sell and licence the connector. When someone uses WARM (rather than just signs up on our website), we want to collect the user name, email, organization name and Wild Apricot website URL.
A few ideas on how to do this - supermetrics.com seems to be the leader in doing this. They allow you to register for free and have a trial, you authenticate to their service with your Supermetrics password. Once the trial is over the plugin ceases to function until you go to their website and add payment details. Nothing is added to the plugin (no license key or some such). Everything is handled in a backend billing system that enables a plugin to operate. This is a decent idea and easy to manage since customers can access their own account, renew and buy various plans which open up features in the connector(s) they sell.
