Learn how to host your software product
Products describe the specific service you offer to your customers. For example, you might offer a monthly subscription to host a dedicated deployment of your software.
CNAP simplifies the technical complexity of creating sellable products from your software. You define what customers receive (Helm charts, configurations, pricing), and CNAP manages deployment, billing integration, and infrastructure orchestration across your clusters of machines.
Creating a Product
Onboard your product through the Products Dashboard.
You can select the Helm package from Artifact Hub.
Our roadmap includes support for Helm charts hosted on private Git/OCI repositories in the near future.
Select to which the product can be deployed. Users will only see the regions of the clusters when they are deploying the product. Checkout Clusters for more information.
Pricing products
If you require users to pay for deployments of a product, you can link a CNAP product with one or more from one or more .
Setting Product Pricing
Setting Product Pricing
Connect with Stripe
Make sure to connect with Stripe in the Settings of your project to onboard with a to CNAP.
Create Stripe prices
Once Stripe is connected, you can associate Stripe prices with the CNAP product.
Create a Stripe product with prices in the Stripe dashboard.
You can edit the Stripe product to add even more prices, e.g.:
- €10/month subscription
- €50 one-time setup fee
Select Stripe prices
As soon as the Stripe products and prices are created, they will be immediately loaded and available for selection in CNAP.
All prices you select for the CNAP product will apply when users checkout the product in the marketplace. You can also create more Stripe products and select their prices for the same CNAP product if you need to (e.g. a deployment consists of multiple services).
Click “Add Product” to create the product.
