Hello, I’m involved in a development of a Subscription Video On Demand TV app for my company and we started to wonder if it’s possible to combine the subscriptions system with some free content for signed up users without any active subscription and stay compliant with the Roku’s certification requirements.
Basically, we want the flow to look like this:
- User may sign up/sign in in the app without purchasing a subscription, they will have access to all the free content.
- Later on, user may choose to purchase a subscription to access some paid content.
Is such a flow compliant with the Roku’s certification? From what I have read, Roku requires that an account is created (using the user’s profile data like email) on the publishers server side only after a user confirms subscription purchase. In case of our desired flow, the account would need to be created right after signing up. Also, once user’s subscription is canceled, they would still have an access to the free content.
Would love to know how does it look from your perspective.
