# Products

Products can be created in Salesforce or Stripe. Products define what you sell. Before you can create a Price or Subscription you need to create a Product.

          Product Permission Limitations

          

Product is a standard object so it is not included in the Stripe Billing permission set. If you would like users to create and edit product records be sure to add permissions to a custom permission set. Additionally, you can have System Administrators perform actions with products.

## Add Important Fields to the Page Layout

You'll want to add the following fields to your Product page layout:

- `Product ID`
- `Type`
- `Payment Gateway`

## Creating a Product

1. Create a Salesforce Product or navigate to an existing one.
2. Set the `Payment Gateway` lookup field to an active Payment Gateway (click the lookup selector and select).
3. Set the `Type` picklist to Service.*Prices can be created only for products of type 'Service'.*
4. The Product will automatically be pushed to Stripe.*You'll know it worked if you see a `Product ID` field value populated within a couple of seconds.*

## Existing Stripe Products

If you already have created products in Stripe, you can sync them with your Salesforce org.

1. Go to the Payment Gateway record.
2. Click `Sync with Stripe`.
3. New Products will be created in Salesforce.

## Retrigger the Action of Pushing to Stripe

There may be some instances where the Product record did not automatically push to the Payment Gateway. For times like these we've added a button labeled `Push To Stripe`. This button works very much like the buttons with the same name on the Price and Subscription objects.

1. Add the `Push To Stripe` button to your Product page layout.
2. Navigate to the Product record you would like to add to the Payment Gateway.
3. Click `Push To Stripe`
4. On the next page push `Save`.
5. You should see a green success message if this worked.
6. You'll also notice that the `Product ID` field was populated.

*Note: You cannot use the `Push To Stripe` button for Product updates. Those changes are not supported.*

          Product prices

          

Note that your Salesforce Product prices don't effect the Stripe Prices of your products.
