Get started with products and prices

Products are core resources for several MeSomb integrations, including Payment Links and Invoices.

First, make sure you understand the overall goals of your integration project-make your design decisions before you start building it.

Multiple products and prices

You can create as many products as you need to represent your product catalog. You can also create multiple prices for each product. Whether you should create multiple products as opposed to multiple prices depends on several factors. Generally, however, you want to:

  • Create multiple prices for a single product if you’re selling the same item at different price points. For example, if you offer a subscription tier at monthly and yearly rates, create one product for the tier and one price for the monthly rate and another for the yearly rate.
  • Create multiple products if you’re selling different items. For example, if you sell both T-shirts and hats, create a product for each item. Similarly, if you have different versions of a product, like different colors or sizes of a t-shirt, you would create a product for each version.

Test mode

You can copy products from test mode to live mode so that you don’t need to recreate them. Prices associated with the product are also copied over. In the Product detail view in the Dashboard, click Copy to live mode in the upper right corner.

Create products and prices

Using the Dashboard is the easiest way to create new products and prices.

Create a product

To create a product in the Dashboard:

  1. Go to Main Menu > Product catalog.
  2. Click +Add product.
  3. Enter the Name of your product.
  4. (Optional) Add a Description. The description appears at checkout, on the customer portal, and in quotes.
  5. (Optional) Add an Image of your product. Use a JPEG, PNG, or WEBP file that’s smaller than 2MB. The image appears at checkout.

To save a product in the Dashboard, you must also add at least one price. You can also create multiple prices for a product.
