Clarification Needed Properties Page... customer account requirement

I have not submitted an SDK channel in a long time and currently I’m making an attempt for a new subscription channel using Roku billing.

It says on the properties page :
“customer account requirement”
A customer account is required to access some or all channel features.
A customer account is not required to access any channel feature.

Obviously, a Roku account is required for access to a subscription channel with ROKU billing so is this referring to a developer having an additional signup requirement thru a website if handling their own subscribers billing ?

Thank you for clarification.

That means that your app requires a separate account outside of the Roku account.
