# Creating products
## Understanding Products
A **product** is what your learners will purchase. It can include:
* Access to specific courses
* Tests and assessments
* Learning resources
* AI avatars with increased chat limits
* AI agents with enhanced capabilities
Think of a product as a bundle that automatically delivers everything to your learner upon purchase.
***
## Step-by-Step: Create a Product
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Select a Course
* After connecting Stripe, scroll to the **"Products"** section
* Use the **"Select Course"** dropdown to choose which course this product relates to
* Only deployed courses will appear in the list
{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: If no courses appear, make sure you have at least one deployed course. Go to **Courses** → Deploy a course.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Open Product Creation Form
* Click the **"Add Product"** button
* A product creation form will appear
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select User Plan
Choose which VEGA user plan this product will grant to learners.
Available Plans:
* **VEGA Pro** - Includes 15 structured tests, 250 practice tests, 360 resources, 600 AI chats
* **VEGA Pro Max** - Includes 50 structured tests, 500 practice tests, 750 resources, 1200 AI chats
What This Means:
* When a learner purchases your product, they automatically receive the selected plan's benefits. This determines:
* How many tests they can take
* How many resources they can access
* How many AI chats they get
* The level of analytics and features
Pricing Requirements:
| Plan | Minimum Pricing |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **VEGA Pro** | $20/month • $30/quarter • $40/half-year • $60/year |
| **VEGA Pro Max** | $30/month • $45/quarter • $60/half-year • $90/year |
> Note: VEGA retains $60 (Pro) or $90 (Pro Max) per user annually, or 3% after payment gateway fees, whichever is higher.
> {% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select Course Journey
Choose which course journey learners will get access to.
What is a Course Journey?
* A course journey is a structured learning path that includes:
* Structured tests (for assessments)
* Diagnostic tests (for skill evaluation)
* Practice tests (for practice)
* Learning resources (materials, guides, templates)
* Spaces (community access)
Journey Requirements:
* Only **PAID** journeys will appear in the dropdown
* Journeys must be created in advance under the Journeys section
* All content in the journey is automatically granted to learners upon purchase
What You'll See:
* After selecting a journey, you'll see a summary showing:
* Number of structured tests
* Number of diagnostic tests
* Number of practice tests
* Number of learning resources
* Number of spaces
* Names of all included content

{% step %}
### Product Details
Now you'll add the marketing details for your product.
Product Name
* Enter a clear, descriptive name for your product
* Make it compelling and benefit-focused
Good Examples:
* "Complete Python Programming Course"
* "Advanced Marketing Masterclass"
* "Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp"
Avoid:
* Generic names like "Course 1"
* Confusing abbreviations
Description
* Write a compelling description that sells the value:
* Explain what's included
* Highlight the key benefits
* Mention who it's for
* Keep it clear and scannable
Example:
```
Master Python programming with 50+ video lessons, hands-on projects, and lifetime
access to course materials. Perfect for beginners with zero coding experience who
want to build real-world applications and land their first developer job.
```
\[Screenshot: Product Description Field]
Product Image
* Upload an eye-catching image (recommended: 1200x630 pixels)
* Use high-quality graphics that represent your course
* This image appears on the product listing
* Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
* Maximum file size: 20MB
Features List
* Add 3-5 key features/benefits that learners will receive:
* Click **"+ Add Feature"** for each one
* Focus on outcomes and benefits

* "Downloadable resources and templates"
* "Certificate of completion"
* "Lifetime access to all future updates"
* "Private community access for networking"
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Pricing Configuration
Currency
* Select your preferred currency (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)
* This determines how prices display to customers
* Choose the currency most common for your target audience
Price Amount
* Enter the price in the smallest currency unit (cents for USD)
* Example: For $99.99, enter `9999`
* Or use the dollar input if available
* Minimum price varies by currency (typically $0.50 USD)
Pricing Type Choose the pricing model that fits your content:
One-Time Purchase
* Learner pays once and gets lifetime access
* Best for: Complete courses, bundled content, workshops
* Example: $99 one-time payment
* Pros: Higher perceived value, no subscription management
* Cons: No recurring revenue
Subscription (Recurring)
* Learner pays regularly for continued access
* Choose interval: Monthly, Yearly, etc.
* Best for: Ongoing coaching, membership sites, continuously updated content
* Example: $29/month or $299/year
* Pros: Predictable recurring revenue
* Cons: Higher churn risk, requires ongoing value delivery
{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: One-time purchases tend to have higher perceived value, while subscriptions provide predictable recurring revenue. Consider offering both!
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
