Account portal (pay.asteriscommerce.com)

Account portal

The Asteris account portal lives at pay.asteriscommerce.com/portal — first-party Asteris infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2). It handles licence management, downloads, invoices, and subscription changes for every Asteris product (WP, WC, Cart).


What the portal includes

  • Licence dashboard — see all your active Asteris licences across all your purchases, with current activation count + tier
  • Per-site activation management — deactivate / move / reset activation for any site, no support email needed
  • Versioned downloads — download any past Asteris release zip (last 10 versions), useful for rollback per Troubleshooting
  • Invoice + receipt history — every Stripe invoice ever issued to your account, downloadable PDF
  • Email change — update your account email, with magic-link verification of the new address
  • Subscription management — pause / cancel / change tier (Stripe Customer Portal embedded)
  • Founder badge + cohort info — for launch-window subscribers, displays your Founder status + locked rate
  • Support ticket history — every email you’ve sent to support@, threaded by issue, with response status

Authentication

  • Magic-link only — no password to manage, no password reset flow to support. Enter your email → click the link → 24-hour session.
  • Email-change with double-verification — change requests require confirmation from both old and new email addresses (prevents account takeover via single compromised inbox).
  • Session lifetime: 24 hours, automatic logout. Re-request a magic link to re-authenticate.

Architecture

The Asteris Licence Server runs on Cloudflare Workers + D1 (SQLite at the edge) for state, R2 for signed plugin-zip downloads, and KV for short-lived magic-link tokens.

  • Payments: Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, regional methods). Stripe Tax calculates VAT/GST.
  • Merchant of record: Asteris Commerce (My Cosmic Message Pty Ltd t/a Asteris Commerce, ACN 652 358 159).
  • Card data: never stored on Asteris infrastructure — held exclusively by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1).
  • Licence keys: stored hashed on the Asteris Licence Server. The plain-text key only exists on your customer email receipt and on your WordPress site after activation.

Influence the portal scope

If there’s an account operation you need that the portal doesn’t handle, email support@asterisforwordpress.com. Customer feedback shapes the roadmap.
