Since SureCart is optimized for performance, ensure your images are compressed to keep your <strong>mybox<\/strong> hosting response times low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Downloads (If Applicable):<\/strong> If selling a digital product, upload the file in the <strong>Files<\/strong> section. SureCart handles the secure link generation for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Advanced_Configuration\"><\/span>3.

Many users integrate this with membership plugins or LMS (Learning Management Systems). When the subscription is cancelled, SureCart can automatically revoke access to your protected content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Variants<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For physical goods like apparel, you can add variants (e.g., Small, Medium, Large). Each variant can have its own SKU and specific price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Deploying_Your_Product_The_%E2%80%9CCheckout_Form%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>4. Deploying Your Product: The &#8220;Checkout Form&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In SureCart, products aren&#8217;t &#8220;published&#8221; on their own pages by default. Instead, you display them using <strong>Forms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to <strong>SureCart > Forms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new form and select a template (e.g., &#8220;Full Checkout&#8221; or &#8220;Simple Button&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attach the Product:<\/strong> In the form editor, click on the <strong>Checkout Component<\/strong> and select the product you just created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embed on Site:<\/strong> Save the form and use the provided <strong>Gutenberg Block<\/strong> or <strong>Shortcode<\/strong> to place the checkout anywhere on your website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Implications_for_mybox_Users\"><\/span>Practical Implications for mybox Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Server Performance:<\/strong> Because SureCart handles the checkout processing on its own infrastructure, your <strong>mybox<\/strong> server doesn&#8217;t have to manage sensitive payment data or complex tax calculations. This keeps your site fast even during high-traffic sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security:<\/strong> Using SureCart reduces your PCI compliance burden because credit card data never touches your <strong>mybox<\/strong> database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>External Media:<\/strong> If you are selling large digital files, consider using the &#8220;External Media&#8221; approach mentioned in previous guides to keep your <strong>mybox<\/strong> disk space free for the core application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding products in SureCart is a modular process that separates the &#8220;Product Definition&#8221; from the &#8220;Checkout Experience.&#8221; This flexibility allows you to sell anything from a simple PDF to a complex recurring service with ease. By leveraging SureCart&#8217;s external processing power, you ensure your <strong>mybox<\/strong> hosted store remains scalable and secure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[28],"manual_kb_tag":[190,6357,6358,7711,8944,8945,8946,8947,8948,8949],"class_list":["post-7921","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-others","manual_kb_tag-wordpress","manual_kb_tag-surecart","manual_kb_tag-headless-ecommerce","manual_kb_tag-ecommerce-engine","manual_kb_tag-add-products","manual_kb_tag-product-types","manual_kb_tag-one-time-products","manual_kb_tag-subscriptions","manual_kb_tag-installment-plans","manual_kb_tag-payment-plans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/7921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/7921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7922,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/7921\/revisions\/7922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=7921"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=7921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
