Short answer
Posts share content. Products describe tools or offerings. Programs organize membership, community, learning, or commerce around an ongoing creator surface.
When to use this
Use this article when deciding what kind of public object to create.
Requirements
Publish only information you have the right to share. Keep private customer, member, and payment details out of public posts.
How to choose
Use a post for updates or discussion. Use a product when the object itself should be discoverable. Use a program when people join or follow an ongoing creator operation.
Common problems
If a product needs recurring members, content, tiers, or operations, it may belong inside a program instead of a single post.
