Understanding Offering Types

Supertab allows you to monetize your content by using three different types of offerings:

Time Pass: Access to content or services for a limited duration (e.g. hours, days, weeks). You set the access period. After time expires, the user must re-purchase to gain access to your content again.
Subscriptions: Similar to time passes, however a subscription allows recurring access (e.g. monthly, yearly) to your content. It is a atandard subscription model with recurring billing.
Single Item: A one-time purchase (for example for a: digital asset, feature, or download). Users have access to the content for an unlimited amount of time for a single charge.

In all three cases any purchases will still be added to the users tab, regardless of the offering type.

Examples

Offering Type	Use Case	Suggested Entitlement Length
Time Pass	Allowing your users access to content for a short period of time. "Try before you subscribe" As a "back away" offer if a user decides to not subscribe	24 hours to 1 week
	Allow access to a single piece of content for a limited time. (Eg: a research paper, single article, etc...)	24 hours
Subscription	Allowing recurring access to your content while the user continues to pay.	1 month to 1 year
Single Item	Paying to access a single download (eg: an episode or article) for an unlimited time.	N/A
