Creating a product#
A product is one piece of software you sell, for example a plugin or a theme. Each product has a slug that your customers’ plugins send with every API request.
- Open License Cart → Products and click + New Product.
- Fill in Product Name (required) and an optional Description.
- Leave Status on Active and click Create Product.
License Cart creates the product in Paddle through the API first, stores the returned pro_… ID in the read-only Paddle Product ID field, and then saves the product locally. If the Paddle call fails (for example because the API key is missing) the product is not created and the Paddle error is shown.
The slug is generated from the name (for example “Section Blocks Pro” becomes section-blocks-pro). You will use it in your client plugin’s configuration and in the Integration tab.
Editing a product#
Click Edit on a product to change its name, description or status. Name and description changes are pushed to Paddle; if that sync fails the local record is still saved and the message tells you so.
Deleting a product#
Delete archives the product permanently:
- all its pricing packages are archived in Paddle and disabled locally,
- all its releases are disabled so they stop serving updates,
- the product disappears from the Products list, and
- existing licenses remain in the database for your records.
This cannot be undone from the dashboard. Set the product to Inactive instead if you only want to pause sales.
