• Back in your Stripe Dashboard and go to Product catalogue ➡️ Add product
• Fill in the details:
• Under Pricing, click Add a price and configure:
  • Pricing model – select Recurring
  • Amount – e.g. £9.99
  • Billing period – Monthly / Yearly / Weekly / Custom
  • Currency – must match the currency set in the plugin
• Click Save product
• On the product detail page, copy the Product ID, it starts with prod_ (e.g. prod_ABC123). You’ll need this in the next bit.

Pro only: Repeat for each tier or plan you want to offer. Each plan that customers can subscribe to needs its own Stripe product.

• In your WordPress admin dashboard go to EEW Subscriptions ➡️ Settings ➡️ Products tab
• Click + Add Product
• Fill in the row that appears:
  • Product ID – paste the prod_... ID from Stripe
  • Label – the display name customers will see on the subscription form (e.g. Monthly Hosting – £9.99/mo). This is your own label; it doesn’t need to match the Stripe product name exactly.
  • Subscribe Page (optional) – select the WordPress page that contains the [eew_subscription_form] shortcode or /eew Manage Subscriptions block for this product. If set, this is where the “Subscribe to view” notice will link to subscribe for gated content restricted to this specific product.
• Repeat for each product
• Click Save Changes

Note: A subscribe page per product is optional, if left blank the plugin falls back to the default subscribe page set under the Pages tab. If you only have one subscription form for all products, setting the default is sufficient.
