Add a Subscription Product

Merchants can create subscription-based products for offerings that require recurring payments, such as software subscriptions, content memberships, or subscription boxes. This is a powerful way to generate consistent revenue while providing ongoing value to your customers.

How to Add a Subscription Product:

1. Navigate to the Dashboard:

   • Log in to your Dodo Payments dashboard.

2. Go to the Products Section:

   • From the sidebar menu, click on Products to view your current catalogue.

3. Add a New Product:

   • Click the Add New Product button.

   • Select the Subscription option in Pricing type

4. Enter Subscription Details:

   • Subscription Name: Provide a descriptive name for the subscription plan (e.g., “Premium Membership” or “Monthly Box Subscription”).

   • Description: Write a detailed explanation of what the subscription includes, its benefits, and any special features.

   • Pricing: Set the recurring price (e.g: $100/year).

5. Configure the Billing Cycle:

   • Set how often the customer will be billed (e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly). You can also create custom billing intervals if needed.

6. Optional: Add a Free Trial Period:

   • Offer a Free Trial period to attract new subscribers. For example, provide a 7-day or 30-day trial, after which the customer will be automatically billed if they don’t cancel. You can do this by selecting the first payment date post the trial period.

7. Save the Subscription:

   • After entering all the details, click Save to add the subscription plan to your product catalogue. The plan will now be available for customers to subscribe to
