FeatureIDs & Adding an Entitlement to Video Content

This section will explain the how to apply Stripe entitlements to video content in CloudMatrix.

How to create a Feature ID

Stripe uses Feature IDs instead of entitlement strings to grant users access to content where they have bought the relevant subscription.

To create a Feature ID, open Stripe and navigate to Products then Features.

Click Create Feature. The Feature Name can be entered as something for internal use to enable you to understand at a glance what this entitlement is for - for example, Season Pass.

The Lookup Key can be the same as the Feature Name and is not used externally.

Click Create Feature to finish the process.

Once created, you will notice it has been added to your list of Features. Clicking on the Feature will show the products it is associated with, and the Feature ID on the right hand side (appears as feat_92150713fnog26u for example)

Adding the Feature to a Product

We now need to add the Feature to a Product. When our users are purchasing a Product, the Feature ID is added to their account in the same way as a CloudPay entitlement was added to a user in the old checkout flow.

Click Features then select the Feature you wish to add.

Click Attach to Product then select the desired Product from the list.

A product with the correct Feature attached:

Click on the video content and locate the SysEntryEntitlements field.

Copy the Feature ID from your Stripe Feature, and paste it into the field and click Save.
