Create your first product
Products define what you sell. A good first product should be simple enough to test end-to-end.
Before you start
Decide:
- Product name.
- Billing model.
- Unit label.
- Price and currency.
- Billing period.
- Whether tax should apply.
- How the line should appear on invoices.
Recommended first product
For your first test, use a simple recurring product:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Name | Pro Plan |
| Unit label | seat |
| Pricing model | Licensed recurring |
| Price | USD 49 per seat |
| Billing period | Monthly |
| Quantity | 1 |
After this flow works, add usage-based, tiered, annual, or hybrid pricing.
