Overview

Customer-level entitlements give businesses the flexibility to grant specific features or usage rights directly to a customer, independent of their subscription. This means entitlements are no longer tied only to subscription plans—they can now be associated with one-time product purchases as well.

This capability is especially valuable for companies that offer non-subscription products.

Example

Gaming companies often allow players to access a game without a subscription but purchase one-time items such as coins, weapons, or level upgrades. With customer-level entitlements, these purchases can be directly linked to the customer’s profile, ensuring the corresponding entitlements (like access to items or upgrades) are accurately reflected.
