docs: Handling expirations with one-time product

[rishi-raj-jain]

$200

write a guide that talks about how to use license keys to enforce expiration on a one-time product purchase

context

in cases where someone sells a one time pruchase product but wants to make sure that the purchase say last for a certain period, then they can:

attach the license key benefit to the product for that much period (i.e. expiry) and then use the webhooks to automatically sync the state of the license key via the benefit_grant.created and benefit_grant.revoked webhooks:

• show the benefit creation steps (set up a license key benefit that expires in 3 days)
• show the product creation steps
• show the webhooks setup (single screenshot of the URL, events selected)
• show a simple endpoint (in JS) with pseudo code of how the event will be parsed (use the guide) and then the grant/revoke will be handled in a database (say redis, use Upstash.com)
• perform a purchase but show a customer portal view of someone purchased with the email in the view (can use temp-mail)
• show the webhook events firing on grant and revoke
• show the database changed entry

Hi
I would like to work on it. Could you assign it to me?
Thank you

@shubhi2000 If you are not working on this please inform so that rishi can re open my fully complete PR

@iusenvimbtw

• Please read about how Algora bounties are usually done - for example in Hono example with Webhooks, Customer Portal and Checkout creation examples#11, people ask to assigned over before overriding someone attempt to come in
• You should have asked this before attempting the PR - this sets the wrong precedent that anybody can attempt if a PR is not come in and you can then just expect the other person to release - what's the point of assigning GH issues then?
  • Doing it like this breaks the entire point of assigning the bounties and opens to flood of attempts and more work on my end to filter through each

@rishi-raj-jain I would have not taken it up if it had not been idle for 2 months , was just trying to help myself and the team .
Maybe you guys should set a upper threshold after which any PR should be welcome if the assignee has not proceeded with it.

[rishi-raj-jain]

Helping is great, no doubts about it.

Maybe you guys should set a upper threshold after which any PR should be welcome if the assignee has not proceeded with it.

I appreciate your suggestions and did not like that you termed it as "unhealthy delay" in your message earlier but please read what I shared above in my message. Please follow the process like all people who attempt bounties do. Many issues like these are assigned to our team as well for months that we act on basis of priority.

@rishi-raj-jain think of it from my perspective then you will understand how I came to the conclusion of it being unhealthy delay , I understand your perspective as well you don't want unnecessary work if everyone starts doing this but I thought 2 months was a fair amount of time to proceed with it .

And there is no point arguing here Rishi I am sure you have better things to do , as for the PR if Shubhi is indeed not working on the issue I can help you with the changes if any are needed probably some grammer fixes .
