Leak protection

When your software leaks, you stay in control.

Leaks used to mean lost sales and no way to find out who did it. Here is what happens with Vanity instead.

  1. Your software gets posted on a leak forum.

    It happens to every popular product sooner or later. What matters is what happens next.

  2. The leaked copy refuses to start.

    With activation turned on, your software only runs with a license bought from your store. Cutting out the license check does not help, because the code itself stays locked.

  3. You find out who shared it.

    Every download is quietly marked with the buyer it was made for. Drop the leaked file into your dashboard and it names the customer.

  4. One click, and they are out.

    Revoke the license and block the account or IP. Your Discord gets a message if they try again.

See every protection layer

From build to store in three steps.

No servers to rent and no license system to build. If you can fill in a product page, you can run a store on Vanity.

  1. Set up

    Create your store

    Pick a name, upload your logo and choose a web address. Connect Stripe, PayPal or Tebex so payments go straight to you.

  2. Add

    Upload your products

    Write the product page, add screenshots and versions, and choose how much protection each product gets.

  3. Sell

    Share your link

    Buyers check out, get their license key instantly and download a copy made just for them.

You choose the protection.

Every product gets its own setting. A free add-on can stay light while your bestseller gets everything. Three example setups:

Your most important code becomes machine code, with no Java left to read.

  • Mark every download with its buyer (included)
  • Scramble names and logic (included)
  • Hide text, links and numbers (included)
  • Turn code into machine code (included)
  • Run inside a private virtual machine (not included)
  • Require activation from your store (not included)

Everything a software business runs on.

Selling, support and the numbers, handled in one place, so you can spend your time building your product.

Checkout that pays you directly.

  • Your own payment accounts

    Stripe, PayPal and Tebex, paid straight into your account.

  • Sales and coupons

    Run a sale with a banner, or hand out coupons with limits and an end date.

  • Bundles and add-ons

    Sell products together, or let buyers add extras to a license.

  • Subscriptions

    Monthly, quarterly or yearly plans, with free trials if you want them.

  • Versions and editions

    Offer different versions and help buyers pick the right one.

  • Automatic invoices

    Every order gets a PDF invoice with your business details.

Your numbers, ready for tax season.

See how your store is doing at a glance, and hand your accountant a clean export when the year ends.

  • Analytics at a glance

    Revenue, orders, average order value and unique buyers for any week, month or year, compared with the period before and split by payment provider.

  • Invoices on every order

    Each sale gets a PDF invoice with your business and tax details and your logo. You and your buyers can download it any time.

  • One-click tax exports

    Download every order for a tax year as a CSV, or a monthly summary with VAT, refunds and totals ready for your accountant. Works if you are exempt from VAT too.

Fast for buyers anywhere.

Vanity runs servers in Europe, Singapore and Australia. Your software connects to whichever is closest, so it starts quickly wherever your buyers host.

Example servers, each connecting to its nearest Vanity location.
  • Picks the fastest location

    Each server tests every location and remembers the quickest one.

  • Keeps working if one is down

    If a location cannot be reached, your software switches over on its own.

Your store

A store with your name on the door.

Not a listing on someone else's marketplace. Your own site, your own Discord bot and your own customers, and they only ever see your brand.

Bring your whole team.

Invite other developers to sell from the same store, and give helpers staff access. Your products, customers and numbers stay private to your store.

Your own web address.

Start right away on an address we give you, then connect your own domain whenever you like. The padlock and security certificate are taken care of.

https://store.yourbrand.com

Your Discord bot.

Runs under your name in your server, with your roles and channels.

Your brand, everywhere.

Your logo and colours on the store, emails, invoices and your customers' card statements.

Your currency, your terms.

Sell in one of 11 currencies and write your own terms, privacy, refund and license pages.

Outgrow the marketplace listing.

BuiltByBit, Polymart and SpigotMC are a fine place to start. Once your products sell, owning the store, the customers and the protection pays off.

On a marketplace

  • Your page sits next to competing products
  • Buyers are the marketplace’s customers
  • Payouts on the marketplace’s terms
  • Leaked copies keep working
  • Tracing a leak depends on what you built yourself

On

  • Your own site, address and branding
  • Buyers are your customers, in your store and Discord
  • Paid straight into your account, with no cut of your sales
  • With activation on, leaked copies won’t even start
  • Every download is marked with its buyer, automatically

A flat price. No cut of your sales.

Every plan includes the full store, licensing and leak tracing. You pay for your store, never a percentage of what you sell.

Questions sellers ask first.

Do I need to be technical to use Vanity?

No. You upload your build, fill in the product page and connect your payment account. Protection is a set of options you switch on for each product.

What can I sell and protect?

Java software: plugins for Paper, Spigot, BungeeCord and Velocity, and standalone Java apps such as bots and tools. Protected builds run on Windows, Linux and macOS hosts.

How do I get paid?

Buyers check out through your own Stripe, PayPal or Tebex account, so the money goes straight to you. Vanity takes no cut of your sales.

What can I do when a copy leaks?

Drop the leaked file into your dashboard to see which customer it came from. Then revoke their license and block their account or IP in one click.

Can I export my sales for my taxes?

Yes. Download every order for a tax year as a CSV, or a monthly tax summary with VAT at your rate, refunds and totals. Every order also has a PDF invoice with your business details.

Can buyers use one license on more than one server?

You decide. Set how many servers and IPs each license allows, and buyers can request a reset when they move hosts.

Will buyers far from Europe have slow start-ups?

No. Vanity has servers in Europe, Singapore and Australia, and each buyer’s server connects to whichever location is fastest for it. If one is unreachable, it switches to another on its own.

Will protection slow my software down?

The lighter options barely affect speed. The heaviest ones, like the private virtual machine, cost more, which is why you choose the level for each product.

Can I sell together with other developers?

Yes. Invite other sellers to your store and give helpers staff access, each with their own role and permissions.

I have a developer on my team. Is there an API?

Yes. There is a REST API for licenses and a full OAuth and OpenID Connect sign-in, plus source code delivery over Git. Developer details
