So what is it?

Orion Key is an automated digital goods delivery platform, specifically built for selling card keys and license codes online. The core problem it solves is that selling digital products like software activation keys, game codes, or virtual items normally requires manual staff to send the codes after payment. Orion Key automates that entire process: a customer places an order, completes payment, and the system immediately delivers the key to them without any human involvement. The platform has both a customer facing storefront and an admin dashboard. The admin side lets you manage product categories, upload or bulk import codes, control inventory, view order history, and manage users. The storefront supports light and dark theme switching plus customizable color themes. The customer side supports a shopping cart, order tracking by order number, and payment through multiple channels including WeChat Pay, Alipay, and USDT cryptocurrency. Security features include rate limiting on login attempts, IP throttling, and token based authentication so sessions stay stateless. The project provides a live demo site and can be deployed through Docker Compose using prebuilt container images, or run directly by installing Java, Maven, Node.js, pnpm, and PostgreSQL yourself. You would use this if you want to run a self hosted online store that sells digital codes or keys, and you want delivery to be fully automatic the moment payment is confirmed. The frontend is built with TypeScript and React using the Next.js framework, the backend runs on Java with Spring Boot, and the database is PostgreSQL. The project is released under the MIT license.
