How will users access content in your apps?

Options available at Uscreen Website:	Options available at Uscreen Apps:
Purchases: Subscriptions; Bundles, Rentals; One-Time Purchase Payment: The user chooses and then enters payment information Coupons & Gift Cards: Yes	Purchases: Subscriptions Payment: User's Apple ID, Google Play, Amazon, Roku Account Coupons & Gift Cards: Not supported NOTE: Bundles, rentals, and one-time purchases are not sold through apps, only on the website. Users will have access to their purchased content on all platforms.

Accessing Content:

Within the apps, all the content published in your catalog will be visible
If you are offering In-App Subscriptions (IAP), these subscriptions need to grant access to all of this content. You should always add top-tier subscriptions to your apps.
Any user can browse and watch free content (if any is available) in the apps.
Users will have access to the content they purchase on the website in the apps (including bundles, rentals, and one-time purchases).
Uscreen uses Single Sign-On, so it does not matter where you purchase access (registered account required)
You can log in on any platform and access content included in your subscription.

There are two options you can choose when building your apps:

Sign-In Only:

Use this if all or the vast majority of your content is free.
Existing users can log in and access content previously purchased on the website.
Users cannot Create an account or Purchase a Subscription if the app is Sign-in Only.
We cannot direct users to your website to sign-up or purchase access. The app is built in a way that complies with this requirement.

In-App Purchase:

Use this if paid access is required to access your content.
Existing users can log in and access their content.
New Users can Sign-Up & Purchase a Subscription in the app, without needing to visit your website.
If you offer paid content, include it in a Subscription and use IAP.
Each platform will charge service fees from In-App subscriptions.

APPLE APPS ONLY: Any Paid Content = In-App Purchase

Apple won't approve apps that require paid access but do not use the In-App Purchase. (App Store Guideline 3.1.1 In-App Purchase)
If you want iOS approved and available in the App Store, you must give users the option to purchase access to your app, as well as your website.
If you offer access through Subscriptions, Bundles, or One-Time Purchases on your site, include content in All-Access Subscription and offer In-App Purchases.
Your other apps can be Sign-In Only, if you'd like.

More details about In-App Purchase:

App Subscriptions are linked to a Website Subscription for granting access and invoices. Any changes made on the Uscreen dashboard will not be automatically reflected in the apps.

-Type: We suggest adding a Private Subscription for apps.

-Content: App subscriptions should include access to all content (top tier).

-Duration: You can offer one app subscription for each duration (see below).

Subscriptions Durations:

Android & iOS: Monthly; Quarterly; Semi-Annual; and/or Yearly
AppleTV, Android TV, Roku, and Fire TV: Monthly and/or Yearly

Adding In-App Subscriptions:

Choose the Duration, Price, and Trial period for each App Subscription.
Add a Website Subscription with the same Duration/Price/Trial. (directions)
More information on pricing and free trial guidelines can be found in this guide

Changing In-App Subscriptions:

Any changes made on the Uscreen dashboard will not be automatically reflected in the apps once they are built.
All changes must be made by the App Team (ott@uscreen.tv).
Adding/Removing a Subscription or Free Trial requires an App Update (build a new version & submit it for review); the timeline is 4-6 weeks.
It is best to choose a Price and Trial you will be happy with long-term.

Revenue Share is required by each platform: Apple, Google, Amazon, and Roku.
It's like a Service Fee you pay to distribute your app.
You'll share part of all earnings from subscriptions purchased in the app.
In-App Subscriptions & Payments are managed by the platform, not Uscreen.
You'll be paid directly by Apple, Google, Amazon, & Roku.
