Team Subscriptions enable you to sell content access to businesses and organizations, allowing them to manage multiple users under a single subscription. This feature is ideal for B2B sales, educational institutions, or any scenario where group access is needed.
What Are Team Subscriptions?
Team Subscriptions build upon Uscreen’s existing subscription plans by introducing a group management layer. When you create a Team Subscription, you’re essentially setting up a team (or group) that can have multiple members, all accessing content based on the subscription plan assigned to the team.
Key Features
1. Create and Manage Teams
Set up a team by specifying team details, including the team name and billing email.
Assign a subscription plan to the team, determining the content access for all team members.
2. Invite Team Members
Share a unique team invitation link with the team manager.
Team managers can distribute this link to their members.
Members join by clicking the link and entering their name and email.
Optionally, restrict access to users with specific email domains (e.g., only users with @company.com emails).
3. Billing and Invoicing
Assign a billing email to receive invoices.
Generate invoices using Stripe’s invoicing system.
Set invoice amounts, due dates, and reminders.
Note: Invoices are not automatically recurring; you need to generate them manually as needed.
4. Access Controls
Pause a team’s access, which restricts all members from accessing content until reactivated.
Regenerate the team invitation link if it has been shared inappropriately.
Set a maximum number of seats (members) for the team, or leave it unlimited.
Pricing and Monetization
Team Subscriptions are part of Uscreen’s Advanced Monetization add-on, which includes features like localized pricing and buy now, pay later options.
Add-On Cost: There is a recurring cost for the Advanced Monetization package.
Per-User Cost: Team members are billed at a reduced rate (e.g., $0.25 per active team member) compared to standard subscribers (e.g., $1.00 per active subscriber).
Use Case Example
A fitness instructor sells a Team Subscription to a corporate client. The client sets up a team, assigns the appropriate subscription plan, and invites employees to join. The instructor generates an invoice for the agreed amount and sends it to the client’s billing email. Employees join the team via the invitation link and gain access to the fitness content.
