# Create Discord Product / Sell roles
In this section, you will learn how to create a discord product / sell roles. It is very easy and quick ! From here we will assume that you've already correctly setup your server. If not, check this page.
A discord product is a type of product that will allow you to sell up to five roles of your discord server !
# Step One - Go on the Dashboard
First thing, you need to go on the ShopBot dashboard (opens new window). You will need to connect with your Discord account.
Then go to Products -> Create a Product.
Here, you will need to choose your product type. You then need to select a discord product.
# Setp Two - Product Informations
😎 Stands for not required, so do it only if you want it. ⚠️ Stands for required, so please fill it correctly or you will not be able to pass to the next step !
| Option Name | Description |

| Product Name ⚠️ | It will be you product name. It will be displayed as the title of your product on the checkout and on the product embed |
| Product Description ⚠️ | It will be your product description, it will be set as a description in your product embed |
| Product Color 😎 | This s a hex code for the color want want your product embed to have. It is only avalable to ShopBot Plus and Premium users. If you don't put anything, the color will be green by default. |
| Product Stock 😎 | If set to Limited, this will limit the number of products that your customers can buy, you can add more stock whenever you want by editing the product after its creation. If there is no more stock, your customers won't be able to purchase your product. |
| Purchase Limit | If set to Limited, this will limit the number of products that your customers can buy for a lifetime. If for example your product can only be bought once, then set the limit to 1 |
| Product Image 😎 | It will be your product main image, it will be set as the image of your product embed. BUT if you want to put an image it MUST be a link to an image or it will be rejected by Discord (ex: https://shopbot.site/images/ShopBot-big-logo.png ) you CAN use link shorters ! |
| Product Thumbnail 😎 | It will be your product thumbnail, it will be displayed as the thumbnail of your product on the product embed. BUT if you want to put an image it MUST be a link to an image or it will be rejected by Discord (ex: https://shopbot.site/images/ShopBot-big-logo.png ) you CAN use link shorters ! |
# Setp Three - Payment Information
Here, you will need to put your product payment information to be able to be paid each time somone buys your product. Your platformID depends on the choice you make through the payment provider dropdown. (you don't need a platformid for ShopBot as a payment provider)
# Payment Provider / ShopBot
For ShopBot you will need to select the server that the product will be linked to. And that's all !
# Payment Provider / PlatformID - Paypal
For Paypal, you only need to put your VALID Paypal email address that is linked to your account. If you populate a wrong email, no one will be able to have a checkout link.
(Once your product is created and generated, I strongly recommand that you click on "buy" on your product to see if a checkout link is created. If not, modify your product Paypal email address in Products -> Product List -> Select your product and click on "edit" -> Sensible Informations -> PlatofromID)
# Payment Provider / PlatformID - Stripe
For Stripe, it is a bit harder but it is worth it!
You need to have a stripe connected account . Once you have that, then head to your profile here (opens new window), go to the bottom of that page and copy your account id (see image below) and paste it in the platformID input.
# Price / Currency
Now, you need to put your product price and currency. I recommend you to choose your currency first. Note that if you choose Paypal as a platform, the minimum price is 7.5€ (or equivalent in other currencies) for a product. Whereas for Stripe, it is 5€ and you will have LESS fees applied to your payment.
# Payment Type
# One Time
If you select the One Time payment type, evry purshace of your product will be unique. Users will get keep roles for ever.
# Subscription
If you select the Subscription payment type, you will be able to put a frequency that matchs your price. And the roles will be removed for users that did not renwed their frequency.
Example: You put a Daily frequency, if a user buys your product he will need to buy it again the next day of his purshace if he wants to keep his roles. Note that a user can also put a custom frequency, example:
You have a price of 10€ for a product that has a daily frequency, if a user chose to take a week of your product he will pay 70€ for his product (10x7). And he will need to buy the product again 7 days latter rather than 1.
WARNING
⚠️ All the subscription dead lines are rounded to mid day or mid night !
# Step Four - Product Automatic Actions
You can activate or deactivate the automatic actions you want. If you don't know what they are, please check this page.
# Step Five
One more step and you are DONE !
The Server selector is the server that you want to sell the role from. If you don't see your server in the list even after a refresh, thats mean that you didn't added Shopbot to your server. Click HERE (opens new window) to add it.
Once that your server is selected, you will need to choose up to 5 roles that you want to sell on your server in the role selector.
WARNING
⚠️
All the role that you are selected MUST be UNDER the ShopBot role or it will not work (See animation bellow)
(Here We want to put the ShopBot role higher than the role we want to add (here Role 1 ;2 ;3 ;4 ;5))
And you are Done ! You now need to generate your product and test it !
# Generate your Product
First, you need to have your product ID, to find it, go on Products -> Product List and you should see your products and it's ID right under its image (if you dont see it simply refresh the product list by clicking the refresh button)
Once you have your product ID, go on your Discord server and go in the channel where you want the product embed to be generated.
Then type /generateproduct YOUR-PRODUCTID I think that you guessed that you need to put your product ID instead of YOUR-PRODUCTID. Hit enter and let the magic happen, if everything is correct, your product embed should be created. You can delete the first information message that says Product Created ! If you want to modify your product got on the shopbot dashboard and regenerate your product embed again !.
If you modify your product you will obviously need to recreate and follow the same procedure.
And you have finished ! From now on, you don't have anything to do, the product is fully working.
# Test your product
Now that you have generate your product message, you can now test it with the command /testdiscordproduct put your productID and if there is no error, you should have the roles that you have setup on the dashboard added to you !
