Packages & Plans

Browse available subscription packages, view pricing and plan details by country and currency, retrieve subscription terms and consent gateway information, check plan availability, and request subscription cancellations.

Overview

Packages and Plans form the core of the Tuned Global entitlement and subscription system. They determine both the capabilities available to a user and the commercial subscription used to obtain those capabilities.

A Package defines the rights and features available to a user. Examples might include:

• Free
• Freemium
• Premium
• Family
• Enterprise

Each Package represents a specific set of entitlements within the platform.

Examples include:

• whether streaming is permitted
• maximum playback limits
• available audio quality
• offline playback
• playlist creation
• radio access
• download permissions
• API feature availability

A Plan is the commercial subscription that grants access to a Package.

A Package may contain multiple Plans, allowing the same set of user rights to be purchased in different ways.

Examples include:

• 7 Day Trial
• Monthly Subscription
• Annual Subscription
• Promotional Subscription
• Telco Bundle

Each Plan contains commercial information such as pricing, billing period and the Merchant responsible for processing the subscription.

Historically, Plans may also be referred to as Costs within some APIs or CMS interfaces.

Merchants

Each Plan is associated with a Merchant that is responsible for subscription processing and payment validation.

Supported Merchants include, but are not limited to:

• Apple In-App Purchase (IAP)
• Google Play Billing
• Stripe
• RevenueCat
• Carrier / Telco Billing
• Voucher and Gift Code providers
• Custom payment providers

Multiple Merchants may each offer equivalent Plans that grant access to the same Package.

Relationships

The relationship between these entities is shown below.

Package (Premium) │ ├── Monthly Plan │ └── Apple IAP │ ├── Monthly Plan │ └── Google Play │ ├── Monthly Plan │ └── Stripe │ ├── Annual Plan │ └── Stripe │ └── Telco Bundle └── Carrier Billing

A user purchases a Plan through a Merchant. Once the purchase has been validated, the user receives the entitlements defined by the associated Package.

AutoTune CMS

Packages, Plans and Merchants are managed through the AutoTune CMS.

Depending on the deployment and user role, management functions are available to either:

• Super Administrators (Tuned Global) — who have full system administration capabilities.
• Service Administrators — who manage the Packages, Plans and Merchants available within their own service.
