Create Products & Subscription Tiers

Product Overview

note

Everything is a product

Subscriptions or pay once products are both technically a product in Polar (API & data model). Just with different pricing & billing logic. So both are shown & managed under Products with the ability to filter based on pricing model.

Subscription Audience

Subscription Audience

In case you chose Subscription pricing you'll be promoted to specify the target audience: Individual or Business.

We use this information to clearly distinguish intended audience on your Polar page. However, it does not impact the checkout (customers can provide their business registration number regardless) or buyer experience.
