Choosing a Digital Code Platform for a China-Based Store
Compare stock isolation, Alipay and WeChat Pay checkout, USDT fees, order retrieval and payouts before choosing where to sell digital codes.
Before choosing a platform, pick one product you actually sell and follow one sample order through checkout, fulfillment and payout. For a Chinese software seller, a channel logo alone tells you little about the amount you will receive.
| Ask the platform to demonstrate | What to record |
|---|---|
| Import a small batch into two editions | Which stock pool each edition draws from |
| Price the same order on three channels | Buyer total, fee bearer and merchant income |
| Retrieve a delivered order | Where the buyer finds the code and how support finds the delivery record |
| Trace the payout | When the income becomes available and which account receives it |
What can you sell on Kamai?
Kamai is built for digital goods delivered as codes: software license keys, activation codes, asset redeem codes, e-book access codes, course codes and so on. What they share is that a merchant can prepare a batch of codes in advance, and each buyer receives one after paying.
If that sounds like your product, see the guides by type: software license keys and redeem codes for assets, e-books and courses.
One merchant, one store
On Kamai, every merchant has their own store with its own link. Products, code inventory and orders are managed per store and never mix.
You can set a store name, announcement and support contact, and choose a layout — product cards for image-led products or a compact list for larger catalogs — plus light or dark themes, so it feels like your own shop. For help choosing, read product cards or compact list?
No sign-up for buyers
Buyers do not need an account. They choose a product, quantity and payment method and check out on a single page.
An email address is optional for a delivery copy; even without one, the code appears on the page as soon as payment completes. Buyers can also set a lookup password, then retrieve their code later with email plus password, or with the 32-character order number.
Every extra step loses buyers. For low-priced digital goods bought on impulse, skipping sign-up matters a lot.
Automatic delivery after payment
Every order is matched with a code from that product’s inventory. More precisely, the code is reserved when the order is placed: the order is held for 15 minutes, and once payment succeeds the delivery page immediately shows the code with a copy button, with no manual step. Unpaid orders close automatically and the code returns to inventory.
Reserving first and taking payment second prevents overselling when several people try to buy the last code at once. See automatic digital delivery for the full flow.
Unified payments, flexible payouts
The platform collects payments in USDT, Alipay or WeChat Pay. Merchants add their own payout accounts: USDT, a bank card or Alipay.
- Fees: the rate is configured per merchant, and for each product the merchant chooses whether they or the buyer pays it. When the buyer pays, the total is shown before payment.
- When income is available: Kamai assesses the merchant’s business category to determine the settlement cycle (T0, T1 or T7). After delivery, proceeds become available according to that cycle.
- Withdrawals: from a ¥10 minimum, requested manually or submitted automatically every hour to the default account.
After-sales with a paper trail
Invalid codes and missing deliveries happen in any digital goods business. Kamai gives buyers an order complaint form: with the order number, they choose a problem type and describe it. The complaint goes straight to the store, which records the outcome, such as “replacement code sent”. If a store does not respond, the platform steps in. See the refund policy.
What merchants do
Opening a store takes four steps:
- sign up with a username and password and your store opens instantly;
- list products with a title, description and price;
- import codes for each product by pasting them or uploading a TXT file;
- share your store link.
From then on, payment and delivery run around the clock. A few inventory habits are worth building early — see four habits for keeping your code inventory in shape.
Kamai is still being built. Today it offers a front-end preview of the buyer storefront; merchant onboarding, live payments and settlement will follow as the platform rolls out. Learn more about Kamai.
Frequently asked questions
Will buyers see my personal information?
No. Buyers see your store name, announcement and support contact. Your payout accounts are used only for withdrawals and never shown to buyers.
How many stores can one merchant open?
One merchant has one store. If you sell several categories, list them in the same store by category.
What if a buyer loses their code after paying?
They can retrieve it in order lookup with the order number, or email plus lookup password. Delivery results stay on the delivery page.
How are fees calculated?
Each payment channel can have its own rate. An unset channel uses the merchant default. The product determines who pays the fee.
