Case Study Overview

200+ orders, zero manual fulfillment

Every completed purchase meant checking payment, identifying product type, finding an unused key, composing an email, sending it, and marking the key used - repeated over 200 times monthly. Customers waited for confirmations outside business hours.

shmai built one connected sequence from successful payment through license-key delivery. Assignment and inventory updates happen in the same workflow - eliminating duplicate keys and returning 120–180 hours annually to the founder.

What We Automated

Payment to delivery in one pipeline

Payment detection, product routing, key assignment, and instant email - the four handoffs that were eating the most founder time.

Payment Detection

Completed purchases across three channels trigger fulfillment instantly.

Product Routing

Conditional paths separate product types to the correct key inventory.

Key Assignment

Next available unused key assigned and marked consumed automatically.

Instant Delivery

Dynamic Gmail templates with product-specific messaging and keys.

Workflow Architecture

Multi-channel fulfillment pipeline

Stripe, PayPal, and Squarespace all enter the same key-assignment path - so customers get licenses without waiting on business hours.
