Products represent the item or service you’re selling. Prices define how much and how frequently you charge for a product. This includes how much the product costs, what currency you accept, and whether it’s a one-off or recurring charge. If you only have a few products and prices, create and manage them in the Dashboard.
This guide uses a stock photo service as an example and charges customers a 15 USD monthly subscription. To model this:
- Navigate to the Add a product page.
- Enter a Name for the product.
- Enter 15 for the price.
- Select USD as the currency.
- Click Save product.

Create a Checkout SessionServer-side![](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/fcc3a1c24df6fcffface6110ca4963de.svg)
Your customer must authorise you to use their Amazon account for future payments through Stripe Checkout. This allows you to accept Amazon payments. Add a checkout button to your website that calls a server-side endpoint to create a Checkout Session.
<html> <head> <title>Checkout</title> </head> <body> <form action="/create-checkout-session" method="POST"> <button type="submit">Checkout</button> </form> </body> </html>
Create a Checkout Session in subscription
mode to collect the required information. After creating the Checkout Session, redirect your customer to the URL that the response returns.
