CRM Sync

Every new customer flows into HubSpot, Notion, or Airtable the moment checkout completes.

Your brand

100% white-label. Your name on every key, email, and dashboard.

API-first

REST + webhooks. Integrate in an afternoon.

How it works

Drop in. Connect. Ship.

01

Connect your processor

Point Cortex at your Stripe, Paddle, or Lemon Squeezy account. Takes 2 minutes with our guided setup.

02

Set your licensing rules

Define key formats, expiry windows, usage limits, and affiliate commission rates — no code required.

03

Ship under your brand

Every key, email, and dashboard carries your name. Your customers never see Cortex.

Why Cortex

Stop duct-taping your stack together.

The typical indie seller stitches together 4+ tools and still manages licenses manually. Cortex collapses that into one embedded layer.
