Configuring the product
In the "new product" screen, you can set up the following aspects of the product:
Identifier
A unique ID for the Product, accessible from the SDK, events, etc. Can contain up to 100 alphanumeric characters, dots, or underscores.
Display name
An optional human readable name for the Product, will be shown on the dashboard instead of the identifier.
Name
The customer-facing name of the Product. Will be shown in the checkout form and on invoices.
Description
The customer-facing description of the Product. Available from the Web SDK, eg. to show on your paywall.
Product type
The type of product being sold:
- Auto-renewing subscription: A recurring subscription purchase, that continues on a given interval until canceled.
- Consumable: A non-recurring purchase that can be purchased one or more times (repeated).
- Non-consumable: A non-recurring purchase that can only be purchased once.
Duration
The base billing cycle (period length) of the subscription.
In sandbox mode, billing cycles are accelerated to enable easier testing. See Sandbox testing for more information.
Free trial
Check this to enable a free trial period, and choose the duration.
In sandbox mode, free trial periods are accelerated to enable easier testing. See Sandbox testing for more information.
Introductory period
This feature is currently available as an invite-only beta. If you're interested in getting early access, let us know!
Applies a discounted price for a limited time at the beginning of a subscription (AKA introductory offer). Introductory periods are presented to customers in the product selection page (for web purchase links) and the checkout. They automatically renew to the base subscription price at the end of the period.
Introductory periods are always scheduled after a free trial, when both are enabled.
You can configure:
- Introductory period length: How long the discounted price will apply for
- Introductory billing cycle: Whether customers pay upfront for the entire introductory period, or pay in multiple cycles (e.g. monthly renewals)
You can define introductory prices per-currency in the pricing table (see prices).
The available billing cycles for introductory periods depend on the length of the intro period you've selected. For some lengths, only "paid upfront" is available.
In sandbox mode, introductory periods are set at 5 mins, regardless of configured length, to enable easier testing. See Sandbox testing for more information.
Trial / introductory period eligibility
Defines which customers have access to the free trial or introductory period:
- Everyone: Every customer will start a subscription to this product with a trial, even if they had a trial before. Please note: If you choose this option, it means that customers could continuously cancel their trial and start another trial to keep getting free access.
- Has never made any purchase: Only customers that have never made any purchase in this Project (including non-subscription purchases and purchases in other Apps of this project) are eligible for a trial.
- Didn't have any subscription yet: Only customers that have never had any subscription in this Project (including in other Apps of the project) are eligible for a trial.
- Didn't have this subscription yet: Only customers that have never subscribed to this product are eligible for a trial.
If you're using Redemption Links to enable anonymous purchases, it's not possible to assess the eligibility of a customer when they land on your purchase flow, because they're anonymous. If strict eligibility is important to you, we recommend passing App User IDs to the purchase flow so that eligbility can be checked.
Grace period for billing issues
The length of the subscription access retention after a billing issue. See Sandbox testing for more information about durations in sandbox mode.
Prices
The price that will be charged for each period of the subscription, for each currency.
You can add prices in additional currencies by clicking "Add new currency", and filling in the price fields.
Only one base price can be set per currency. Read more about multi-currency support in Web Billing.
Once you've saved the product, it's only possible to add prices for new currencies, and not edit existing ones. If you need to change pricing, we recommend you create a new product with the desired pricing, and replace the existing product in your offering. We're working on fully supporting pricing changes and migrations in the future.
