Benefits
Automated Benefits
Polar offers built-in benefit (entitlements) automation for common upsells within the developer & designer ecosystem with more to come.
- License Keys. Software license keys that you can customize the branding of.
- File Downloads. Downloadable files of any kind up to 10GB each.
- GitHub Repository Access. Automatically invite subscribers to private GitHub repo(s).
- Discord Invite. Automate invitations and granting of roles to subscribers and customers.
Product & Subscription Benefits
Product and subscription benefits are standalone resources in Polar - connected to one or many products or subscription tiers.
This approach is a bit different from other platforms, but offers many advantages:
- Easy to enable the same benefit across multiple products & subscriptions
- You can change a benefit in one place vs. many
- No duplicate data or work (error prone)
- More intuitive UI for you and your customers
How customers get access to benefits:
- ✅ Active subscribers of tiers with the benefit enabled
- ✅ Customers who bought a product with the benefit (lifetime access)
- ❌ Subscribers with an expired subscription (cancelled)
- ❌ Users who are not customers
Creating & Managing Benefits
You can manage benefits in two ways:
- Directly within a product create/edit form
- Or via
Benefits
in your dashboard
