Product Object

A Product object represents a product or service available for purchase on your site. Product objects contain a description of the product, its entitlements, and a default price.

A product can be a single item or a bundled collection of multiple products. For example, a product can be a monthly magazine subscription, or it can include a monthly subscription, a new customer gift, and a one-time purchase.

Use Product objects to:

• Define a product, including its default price and associated entitlements. (See also Creating Products in the CashBox Programming Guide.)
• Define a bundled product by using pre-existing Product objects to create a new group of products, made available with its own Entitlements and default price. (See also Creating Bundled Products in the CashBox Programming Guide.)
• Create a tokens-for-cash system, in which customers purchase Products that grant their account token credits. Tokens can be used as currency in proprietary transaction systems (such as the purchase of a sword in an online game), or they can be used to allocate minutes in time-based transactions (for use in phone contracts, or website access). (See also Tokens in the CashBox Programming Guide.)
