Step 4: Enter Product Details

• Name: Give your product a clear and descriptive name.

Step 6: Save Your Product

• After entering all necessary details, click "Save" to add the product to your Stripe account.

• Once saved, your product is ready to be linked to your Societal Labs based site.

Step 7: Integrate with Societal Labs

• Use the product ID or API keys provided by Stripe for each product to integrate them into your Societal Labs site. This can usually be done through your site's payment or product management settings.

• Ensure that your Societal Labs site correctly displays the product information and price as set up in Stripe.
