Products and prices are the main points for a Solidgate subscription. Products define what your business offers, whether that’s goods or services, while the pricing structure determines how often charges for these products occur. Prices, on the other hand, determine how much and how often to charge for these products.

Before you start

The Solidgate HUB is a user-friendly interface that allows merchants to create and configure products with subscription rules in just a few clicks.

The process of setting up a subscription product starts with the creation of the product in the HUB. During this process, the merchant must specify the details of the product, such as its name, description, pricing, and subscription rules. The system then automatically generates a unique product identifier, referred to as the product_id , which serves as the identifier for the product in all future subscription operations.

Once the product is created, the merchant can use the product_id to create subscriptions for the product. The price difference can vary for different currencies and locations. Additionally, the merchant can create orders with a subscription, which allows customers to subscribe to the product and make recurring payments automatically.

Currency selection in Solidgate allows merchants to offer their products in multiple currencies, catering to customers from different locations. This feature enables merchants to add various currencies for specific locations, making it easier for customers to make purchases in their preferred currency.
