Creating Your First Product
Now that you have ShopBot installed on your server, it's time to create your first product! To keep it simple, we'll create a basic product that will just send "Thank You!" to the buyer after purchase.
Step 1: Open the Product Creation Page
- Go to the ShopBot dashboard.
- Navigate to Products → Create a Product.
This is a crucial step; in our case we just want to send a TEXT MESSAGE to the buyer after purchase. So we will select the Text Product type.
For other product types, please refer to their respective tutorials that you can find in the Product Types Tutorial section.
For the next sections, please take note that you can find detailed information about each field by clicking on the "?" icon next to it on the dashboard.
Step 2: Fill in the Product Base Information
Here is a breakdown of the fields you need to fill in:
| Option Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Name | The name of your product as it will appear in your shop. Example: "Thank You Note" |
| Product Description | A brief description of your product. Example: "A heartfelt thank you message sent after purchase." |
| Product Embed Color | The color of the embed message sent to the buyer. Example: "#FF5733" Note that this feature is only available to ShopBot Plus and Premium members. |
| Product Image | This will be your product's main image. |
| Product Thumbnail | The thumbnail image of your product. This is a smaller image that represents your product in lists and previews. |
| Product Stock | If set to Limited, represents the number of items available for purchase. If set to Unlimited, there is no limit to how many times the product can be purchased. |
| Product Variants | Options for different versions of your product, such as size or color. Each variant can have its own stock. |
| Purchase Limit | The maximum number of times a single user can purchase this product. |
For our example, we will fill the fields like this:
| Option Name | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Thank You Note |
| Product Description | A heartfelt thank you message sent after purchase. |
| Product Embed Color | #FF5733 |
| Product Image | (Upload an image of your choice) |
| Product Thumbnail | (Upload a smaller version of your product image) |
| Product Stock | Unlimited |
| Product Variants | None |
| Purchase Limit | Unlimited |
Step 3: Fill in the Payment Information
Here is a breakdown of the fields you need to fill in:
| Option Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Payment Provider | Select the payment provider you want to use for this product. |
| Platform ID | The identification for the payment provider that you have selected. For PayPal, it is your email address; for Stripe, your account ID; for ShopBot, the server in which you want the tokens to be tracked; for Crypto, your crypto wallet address. |
| Product Price | The price of your product in the selected currency. |
| Currency | The currency in which the product will be sold. |
For our example, we will fill the fields like this:
| Option Name | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Payment Provider | Stripe |
| Platform ID | (Your Stripe Account ID) |
| Product Price | 5.00 |
| Currency | USD |
Step 4: Fill in the Automatic Actions Information
In our example, we will not activate any automatic actions, so that the tutorial stays simple. If you want to learn more about automatic actions, please refer to the Automatic Actions Tutorial section.
Step 5: Fill in the Product Content Information
This is the final step! Here you will define the content that will be sent to the buyer after purchase. This section differs based on the product type you selected. Since we are creating a Text Product, we will focus on that. Here is a breakdown of the fields you need to fill in:
| Option Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Delivery Type | Choose how the product will be delivered. If set to Unique, each buyer will receive the same message. If set to Multiple, each buyer receives a unique item from a list (e.g., license keys, codes, or files). Items are removed from the list as they are sold. |
| Product Content | If the delivery type is set to Unique, enter the message you want to send to the buyer here. If the delivery type is set to Multiple, enter each item on a new line. |
For our example, we will fill the fields like this:
| Option Name | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Delivery Type | Unique |
| Product Content | Thank you for your purchase! We appreciate your support. |
Then click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page to create your product.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your first product on ShopBot. You can now share the product link with your server members and start selling!
