“The society got its wealth by selling chocolate and confectionery products“. Is it right? If it isn’t, how can I correct it?

Your sentence is grammatically correct, but you could choose better words. And if you mean a particular society, you should use a capital 'S'.

Yes, it's fine.

"Got" is too colloquial if this is a formal document. I'd say "made," then I would want to change it to "made its money" because that's a more usual phrase than "made its wealth."

It's correct.

If this is the Society of Friends you should make Society begin with a capital; otherwise it is fine.

Not sure what you are referring to as "society". It can mean people associated together, with a small 's', or an organisation with a capital 'S'. "The society made its' wealth by selling chocolate and confectionery products“. Apostrophe after 'its'!

The society obtained its wealth or amassed its wqaslth sounds better than got.
