> Create products with addons and downloads, issue licenses and post updates.



Products, licenses and their downloads belong to the Core module. You manage them under **Store** in the dashboard, and customers see them at `/products`.

## Creating a Product

Under **Products**, click **Create**.

| Field                       | What it does                                                                                    |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Slug                        | The URL, as in `/products/my-product`. Made from the name when left empty.                      |

| Status                      | `draft` hides it from the store. `published` shows it.                                          |
| Points Earned, Points Price | Per-product [points](/docs/prism/checkout#points) overrides. `0` uses the global rates.         |
| Featured                    | Sorts it first and marks it in product lists.                                                   |
| Download Type               | Where the file comes from. See below.                                                           |
| Summary                     | One short line shown on product cards.                                                          |
| Description                 | The product page body, written in BBCode, with image uploads.                                   |
| Cover                       | The image on cards and the product page.                                                        |
| Addons                      | Extras bought on top of the product. See below.                                                 |
| Links                       | Buttons on the product page, such as docs or a support server, each with a label, URL and icon. |

## Downloads

| Download Type | Where the file is                                                             |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `none`        | No download.                                                                  |
| `url`         | A link you host somewhere else.                                               |
| `host`        | A file you upload, stored in Prism's `data/` folder.                          |
| `s3`          | A file you upload, stored in your S3 bucket. Needs **Settings > S3 Storage**. |

Uploaded files are never linked publicly. When a customer clicks **Download**, Prism checks they own an active license and gives them a short-lived link. Every download is logged with the user, file, size and IP, and shows under **Download Logs** on the product page for your team.

## Addons

Each addon has a name, icon, price and its own download. Customers pick addons when they buy, or buy them later for a product they already own. Addons are added to the customer's existing license instead of making a new one.

Turn addons off for the whole store, or choose tickboxes or a popup for picking them, under **Settings > Checkout**.

## Licenses

Every purchase issues a license that ties a customer to a product. Prism makes them for you at checkout, and you can make or change them by hand under **Licenses**.

| Field   | What it does                                                                |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Product | The product it unlocks.                                                     |
| User    | Who owns it.                                                                |
| Addons  | Which of the product's addons it includes.                                  |
| Status  | `active`, `inactive` or `deactivated`. Only `active` licenses can download. |
| Expires | When it stops working. Leave it empty for lifetime.                         |

Each license gets a unique key. Customers see their licenses, keys, addons and downloads under **My Licenses** in their account.

A customer can hold one active license per product. Buying the same product again is blocked, but they can still buy its addons.

## Product Pages

Each product page has these tabs:

| Tab           | Who sees it | What it shows                                   |
| ------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Overview      | Everyone    | The description, addons, links and buy buttons. |
| Updates       | Everyone    | Version history and changelogs.                 |
| Reviews       | Everyone    | Star ratings and reviews.                       |
