Within the product, we have to setup some additional information:

1. Name: The name of your product. This will also be visible from your storefront! i.e. 'Subscription for Supaboost'
2. Description: Give the product a short and clear description. I.e. 'Monthly subscription which gives the user full access to Supaboost services'
3. Pricing: Here you should select Subscription. As the template is built around Subscription based SaaS.
4. Price: Add your price per period. For example $19 per month
5. Free trial: Optional. Can set this to true if you want to add a trial period for new users.
6. Tax category: Software as a Service (SaaS)
7. Media: Add images of your application/logo/etc. You can add multiple images and select the one you want to display
8. Files: If you are using Files which can be downloaded upon purchase, you can add those here.
9. Variants: Select different variants for the same product.
10. Redirect customer after purchase: Add a redirect to your /success page. Can also be done when you are finished with the template.
11. Display product on storefront: You have the possibility to show/hide the product on the main page of your store. If you want to only allow custom sign-up, disable this.

When you are done, select Publish product!

Create API Key

Next we are going to create an API key. This key will be used to fetch your Products, Variants and later Invoices from Lemon Squeezy.

3. Enter the name of your API Key - Example: Computer Supaboost

Create Webhook

The webhook is used to create and receive information from Lemon Squeezy. After a subscription is created, the webhook will write information to the webhook. This information will be used to populate our Supabase database.

It's important to note that this needs to be updated later, when we have setup a local server.

1. On the left panel, select Settings > Webhooks
2. Then select the + icon to create a new Webhook
3. Add a callback URL. Enter a dummy webhook

   • subscription_updated
   • subscription_cancelled
   • subscription_resumed
   • subscription_expired
   • subscription_paused
   • subscription_unpaused
6. Click on Save Webhook
