Cartick models commerce around products and prices. A product is the thing you're selling; a price is a billing configuration attached to it (one-time, subscription, or usage-based). This separation — borrowed from Stripe's data model — makes it easy to offer the same product at multiple price points without duplicating inventory data.

Create a product

  1. In WP admin, go to Cartick → Products → Add New
  2. Give it a name — this appears on checkout and in receipts
  3. Set the product type: Simple, Subscription, or Bundle
  4. Under Pricing, click Add price and choose a billing interval
  5. Enter the amount and currency
  6. Click Publish

Attach delivery

For software products, add a Download or License key delivery under the Fulfillment panel:

  • Download — upload a ZIP or link to a URL. Cartick signs download links with a 24-hour expiry token.
  • License key — connect the wpaxiom licensing plugin to auto-generate keys on purchase.

Embed a checkout button

Cartick ships a [cartick_buy] shortcode and a Buy Button block. Both render a checkout button that opens Cartick's hosted checkout in a modal.

// terminalhtml
[cartick_buy product="axiom-blocks-pro" price="monthly"]

Or drop the Cartick Buy Button block into any post or template and pick your product from the dropdown.

Test a purchase

Enable Test mode under Cartick → Settings → Payments. Use card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 with any future expiry and any CVC. Test purchases go through the full fulfilment flow — download links generate, license keys are issued — so you can verify end-to-end before going live.
