Shipped: Envato Integration — own your Envato buyers before July 1, 2026

Envato gives you a purchase code. That's it. Here's what I built to fix that.

When someone buys your CodeCanyon plugin, Envato sends them a UUID. No name. No email. No account in your system. You can have 10,000 sales and a customer list of zero.

That's not a fee problem. It's a customer ownership problem — and the July exclusivity removal doesn't fix it on its own.

So I built Envato Integration for ChargePanda.

When a buyer pastes their purchase code on your site (or signs in with Envato OAuth), the module verifies it against the official Envato API in real time, mints a completed order, issues a license key, and creates an account in your store — tied to their email, with expiry and activation limits you control.

Three claim flows:

• Manual code entry (works for everyone)

• Sign in with Envato (OAuth button on your login page)

• Auto-claim on OAuth login — sweeps their entire Envato purchase history the moment they sign in. One click, every license they own lands in their account.

The thing I kept coming back to while building this: 1,000 Envato sales = 1,000 anonymous transactions. 1,000 claims through your own store = 1,000 verified emails on a list you own forever. Every new product launch, update, or upsell campaign reaches people who already paid you.

That email list is the asset Envato can never take away — no matter what they change next.

Module is live now. $19 one-time. Free for new ChargePanda customers. Setup is under 5 minutes — one Envato Personal Token and one item mapping.

Envato authors — are you planning a direct channel after July 1, or are you sticking marketplace-only? Curious what the biggest blocker is.
