Generate DigitalOcean checkout options and prices in Blesta

Use PD DigitalOcean Droplets’ generated options when customers should choose their server plan, region, OS or extras. Review both visibility and price: generating a choice does not mean it is ready to sell at your intended amount.

Start with saved defaults

Complete the package setup first. A hidden dimension falls back to the package’s module default, so review the fixed region, plan, OS and extras before opening checkout.

Generate and expose the right choices

  1. Open PD Modules → DigitalOcean Droplets → Products and find the intended package.
  2. Choose Generate options to build its configurable option group from the provider catalogue.
  3. Open the row and choose which dimensions customers see: Region, Server plan, Operating system, Additional storage, Automated backups, Dedicated IP and Snapshots you can keep.
  4. Choose Save visibility to apply that display choice.
  5. Review prices under Packages → Configurable Options, including terms, currencies and extras.
  6. Open the order form and check the choices and totals without submitting an order.

The region must carry the selected plan. If you offer a single region, hiding Region limits the plan choices to that region; check the resulting order form rather than assuming all provider plans are available everywhere.

Understand the margin controls

The offering’s row shows provider costs and an optional margin. Save margin stores the margin and shows suggestions; it does not itself change your prices.

Without a saved margin, generated prices start at zero. With a margin, Generate can write suggested prices for choices one price can cover. Review the Priced by Generate and You price it indicators: backups on a variable-plan offering, dedicated IP and snapshots can still need your own pricing. Check the billing-system exchange rate used for cost conversion.

Avoid an accidental price reset

Rebuild from live catalog regenerates option prices. Read its confirmation before rebuilding a group with selling prices already set. Use Save visibility when changing visibility rather than rebuilding just to hide one choice.

Review the package group’s supported service-change choices and billing rules before letting customers change options later.

Saving defaults or prices does not prove a real service was resized. Use the resize and storage guide when preparing those change paths.
