Key pools

Keys in the right pool, ready before anyone asks

Store keys in pools for each SKU, ready to deliver the moment a request is approved. When one seller runs low and another has surplus, move keys across instead of ordering more.

The problem

A spreadsheet per SKU doesn't scale

When keys live in files and inboxes, nobody knows exactly what's available, or where a key went.

Manual allocation

Every approved request means finding the right file, copying out keys and marking them used. Then doing it again.

Ordering keys you already have

One seller runs dry while another sits on surplus for the same SKU, so you order more instead of rebalancing.

No trail back

Once a key leaves the spreadsheet there's no reliable way to recover it or see how it was used.

How it works

Set up once, deliver on approval

1

Bulk upload

Request a batch from your key provider or upload your own.

2

Allocate to pools

Split keys into pools for each game SKU and seller.

3

Deliver on approval

Approved requests are fulfilled from the pool automatically.

4

Rebalance

Move available keys between pools for the same SKU.

Inside Key pools

Less admin, more control

Pools turn a pile of keys into stock you can see, move and account for.

Delivered on approval

Keys wait in their pool, ready to be delivered the moment a request is approved. No copy and paste.

Bulk upload

Request a batch of keys on your key provider, then allocate them to each pool for a game SKU.

Steam integration

Move between pools

Re-distribute available keys to other pools for the same SKU when one seller has surplus and another is short.

Metadata on every key

Each key is tagged with metadata so it can be recovered from Alaska and its usage tracked.

Low-pool alerts

Get notified when a pool is running low, before a customer notices.

Alerts

Guardrails built in

Cap unsold keys and keys per request so no single company drains a pool.

Questions

Key pools, answered

Something else on your mind? Ask us in a demo or email alaska@k3ys.co.

Can I move keys from one pool to another?

Yes. Available keys can be re-distributed between pools for the same SKU, so you can top up a seller from another seller's surplus without ordering more.

How do pools get filled?

Bulk request keys through the Steam integration and let Alaska ingest them, or bulk upload keys you already have, then allocate them to each pool.
