Google Login and License Binding

🔑 Core Concepts

Agent for WhatsApp intentionally separates its architecture into two different concepts:

• 👤 Google Login (Your Identity)
• 💳 License Binding (Your Entitlement)

They work together seamlessly, but they serve two distinct purposes.

👤 Google Login

Google login is the Identity Layer that authenticates the actual human behind the extension.

It enables:

• Account-level cloud settings
• Future sync or ownership logic across devices
• A stable, encrypted identity for license binding

[!TIP] Seamless Access You do not need a separate password. Use the Google account you are already logged into on your Chrome browser for minimal friction.

💳 License Binding

License binding connects your purchased Agent for WhatsApp License Key to your signed-in Google account.

When binding succeeds:

• 🟢 The extension instantly unlocks plan-based premium features
• 🟢 Entitlement checks authenticate both your license validity and active subscription state
• 🟢 Future logins on new devices will automatically recognize your linked license

What happens if the purchase email is different?

This is a very common scenario. The simple rule is:

1. Google Login proves who is using the extension right now.
2. The License Key validates the purchase record.

If your Google email and Purchase email do not match, that is perfectly fine. The system allows you to bind any valid license key to your active Google session.

⚠️ Subscription States

Paid features are governed by your subscription state, not just the static key.

Typical dashboard outcomes:

• ✅ active: Full access to all premium features
• 🔄 past_due or paused: Grace period access (update your payment method soon)
• ❌ expired or cancelled: Paid features are blocked and downgrade to free functionality

💡 Best Practice

For the lowest-friction setup:

1. Log in with the Google account you intend to use long term
2. Bind the license immediately after your very first login
3. Avoid constantly switching between multiple Google identities on the same Chrome profile
