Product (Stripe)

A Product in Stripe is a good or service you sell, such as a plan or a physical item. A product describes what you sell. It has no amount. The amount and billing interval live on the prices attached to it.

Product vs price

One product can have many price objects. That lets you sell the same thing in several ways with one catalog entry:

• A "Pro plan" product with a $24/month price and a $240/year price.
• The same product priced in different currencies.
• An old price kept for existing customers and a new price for new ones.

A subscription points at a price, and the price points at its product.

What a product holds

A product object usually has:

• A name and description that appear on invoices, checkout, and receipts.
• Images for checkout and payment links.
• Metadata, which is your own key/value data.
• Links to entitlements, which map the product to the features a customer gets.

Why the split matters

You can change pricing without touching the product. To launch tiered pricing, test a new rate, or keep old customers on their old rate, you add a new price to the same product. Every invoice still traces back to one product record.
