Every capability your team needs to run entertainment subscriptions at volume, from acquisition through recovery.
ACQUIRE
Convert Audiences Into Paying Viewers and Players

Enforce Access Across Tiers, Devices, and Titles
Access rules are their own problem: who watches, on how many screens, in which territory.
An entitlement engine separates access from how subscribers pay. You gate premium content, live events, and pay-per-view by tier.
Apply concurrent-stream limits, device registration, and territorial-rights rules consistently across titles and platforms, with no custom code per rule. Cross-title and cross-platform entitlements run on one subscriber identity.

Grow Revenue With Add-Ons, Bundles, and Virtual Goods
Structured testing lifts attach rates on add-ons and bundles.
Sell add-ons for premium tiers, live events, and virtual goods alongside a base subscription. Season and battle passes run on the same catalog, and free-to-play titles convert into paid tiers without a separate billing path.
Bundle across streaming, gaming, and partner services, and co-market with telcos, device makers, and platform partners. Test bundle composition and price, then run family, group, and multi-title plans on one platform.

Keep Viewers and Players Through the Cancel Moment
Monthly billing means retention compounds, so small gains repeat every cycle.
Present a pause, a downgrade, a skip, or a targeted offer at the cancel moment. Self-service controls give viewers a way to stay instead of an exit.
Win-back campaigns bring lapsed subscribers back with an offer tied to why they left. On a short renewal cycle, each recovered subscriber compounds across every future period.

Recover Revenue the Moment a Payment Fails
A failed payment on a monthly plan costs revenue every cycle until it is fixed.
Chargebee retries failed transactions at the right time and routes across gateways to keep renewals flowing. Recovery performance stays visible in real time, so involuntary churn shows up on a dashboard instead of a support queue.

Scale to New Markets and High Transaction Volume
Entertainment audiences are global, and transaction volume is heavy.
Chargebee runs on an architecture built for constant model change and heavy transaction load. Multi-currency billing, gateway orchestration, and localized methods cover each market you enter.
DRM, CMS, game-platform, and analytics integrations sit alongside the payment stack. Revenue recognition supports ASC 606 and IFRS 15 reporting across entities and currencies.
