Create a product

This guide walks you through creating a product from scratch—from naming and pricing to content and visibility.

​

Before you start

Have the following ready:

• A clear product idea and short description.
• Any files or links buyers should receive after purchase.
• A baseline price and currency.

​

Step 1 – Start a new product

1. In the Pocketsflow dashboard, go to the Products or Pages section.
2. Click New product.
3. Choose the appropriate product type:
   • One-time product.
   • Subscription/membership.

You can change many details later, but product type affects pricing and access, so choose thoughtfully.

​

Step 2 – Name and describe your product

Fill in the basic details:

• Name – what shows on the page and checkout.
• Short description – 1–2 sentences that describe the outcome.
• Long description – optional; use it to explain what’s included, who it’s for, and why it’s valuable.

Tips:

• Focus on outcomes (“Launch your first digital product in a weekend”) rather than features.
• Use bullet points for key benefits and what’s included.

​

Step 3 – Configure pricing and currency

Under Pricing:

1. Enter the price.
2. If available, configure:
   • Compare-at price or discount.
   • Multiple price tiers (for example, Standard vs Pro).
   • Subscription interval (for subscription products).
   • Free Tier support and settings

Make sure prices are consistent with what you advertise on your marketing site or social media.

​

Step 4 – Add product content

Upload or connect:

• Files – PDFs, ZIP archives, images, videos, etc.
• Links – course platforms, communities, or external tools.
• Instructions – plain text instructions that appear on the thank-you page or in emails.

Best practices:

• Keep file names clear and organized.
• If your content lives elsewhere (for example, a Discord community or course platform), clearly explain how buyers access it.

​

Step 5 – Choose a page template

Pocketsflow offers page templates tailored to different product types (courses, guides, templates, communities, etc.).

1. Open the Page template or Layout section.
2. Select a template that matches your use case.
3. Customize:
   • Hero section (headline, subheading, call-to-action).
   • Section order (for example, “What you’ll learn”, “Who it’s for”, “FAQs”).
   • Testimonials or social proof blocks.

You can preview changes as you go to ensure the page feels cohesive.

​

Step 6 – Configure checkout

1. Navigate to the Checkout page settings.
2. Configure:
   • Required fields (email, name, custom fields).
   • Terms acceptance (linking to your policies on pocketsflow.com).
   • Language or localization options, if available.
3. Apply your branding:
   • Logo.
   • Brand color and accent color.

For detailed options, see Checkout page.

​

Step 7 – Set visibility and publish

Before making the product live:

1. Set the visibility:
   • Draft – not accessible to buyers.
   • Unlisted – accessible via direct link only.
   • Public – accessible via your store or listing.
2. Confirm:
   • Pricing and currency.
   • Content and access instructions.
   • Checkout behavior and policies.
3. Publish the product.

​

Step 8 – Test and share

1. Copy the product or checkout link.
2. Test in a private/incognito window.
3. Share the link with your audience when you’re ready for real traffic.
