Creating a Product

Products are the foundation of your billing setup. Each product defines what you’re selling — whether it’s a subscription, a one-time purchase, or a usage-based service.

Navigate to Products

1. Log in to your dashboard.

2. Go to Products → Create New Product.

3. Choose whether it’s a subscription, one-time product, or usage-based service.

Define Basic Information

When creating a product, you’ll need to provide:

• Product name (e.g., Pro Plan, Annual License)

• Description (optional but recommended)

• Default currency (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP)

• Pricing model (flat, tiered, usage-based, etc.)

Example JSON:

{
  "name": "Pro Plan",
  "description": "Access to premium features with unlimited projects.",
  "currency": "USD",
  "type": "subscription"
}

Set Pricing Options

You can attach one or more pricing options to a product.

Table example:

Tip: Products can have multiple pricing tiers — useful for offering monthly and yearly billing side by side.

Add Metadata

You can attach metadata to products for custom logic in your app.

{
  "product_id": "prod_123",
  "metadata": {
    "feature_flag": "unlimited_projects",
    "support_level": "priority"
  }
}

Use cases: controlling feature access, grouping products, or applying internal tags.

Publish the Product

After defining details:

1. Review product information.

2. Save as draft if not ready to launch.

3. Publish to make it available in checkout and APIs.

Draft products won’t be visible to customers until published.

Test in Sandbox

Always test new products in Sandbox before pushing live.
