Polar offers built-in benefit (entitlements) automation for common upsells within the developer & designer ecosystem with more to come.

  • Credits. A simple benefit that allows you to credit a customer’s Usage Meter balance.
  • 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:

  1. Directly within a product create/edit form
  2. Or via Benefits in your dashboard
