Yes, Webflow's ecommerce tools can be used to sell activation codes instead of file downloads. Here's how you can set it up:

  1. Product Setup:
  • Create a new product in Webflow's ecommerce dashboard.
  • Give it a name, description, and set the price.
  • Under the "Inventory" section, check the "Use stock management" option and enter the number of activation codes available.
  • You can add an image to represent the product, but it's not necessary for activation codes.
  1. SKU Setup:
  • Once you've created the product, you'll need to add a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) for each activation code.
  • For example, if you have 10 activation codes, create 10 SKUs.
  1. Order Processing:
  • When a customer purchases an activation code, an order will be generated in Webflow.
  • You'll receive a notification and can view and manage the order in the ecommerce dashboard.
  • You can manually send the customer the activation code via email.
  1. Automating the Process:
  • If you want to automate the delivery of activation codes, you can integrate with third-party tools like Zapier or Integromat.
  • These tools can automatically send activation codes to customers after a successful purchase.

Note: Since Webflow doesn't have a built-in digital download feature specifically for activation codes, you'll need to handle the delivery manually or through third-party integrations.

Overall, Webflow's ecommerce tools can be adapted to sell activation codes effectively, providing you with the flexibility to sell digital products beyond just file downloads.
