We’re starting with a series of posts to help set up your account so you can start selling your products. The steps describe:

  1. How to set up your first product
  2. What to define in the contract
  3. How to test and apply the purchase flow of the contract
  4. How to define your payment method

Before we begin, it’s important to understand the difference between a product and a contract. In BlueSnap, the main concepts are broken into Products and Contracts. Think of a Product as a group or a bucket, and the Contracts as the different versions and price points of your Product. So for example, the name of your video game or software would be the Product, while the Contracts would be: Windows Edition for $30, Mac Edition for $40, etc.

Let’s Begin!
