Steps

  1. Collect the license_key the buyer received at purchase, plus either product_id or (for products created before Jan 9, 2023) product_permalink
  2. POST to https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify with product_id (or product_permalink) and license_key
  3. Set increment_uses_count=false if you only want to check validity without counting a new activation
  4. On success, read purchase.test to detect sandbox/test-mode purchases and use purchase fields (email, price, currency, refunded/disputed flags) for entitlement logic
  5. Treat a success:false response as an invalid or unrecognized license key
