Subscriptions Overview
Passes are created in the Switcher Dashboard and can be assigned to videos, allowing your viewers to purchase premium content. Subscription passes are applied to the Switcher Player and allow access to existing and upcoming video content, whereas one-time passes can be created and assigned to a set of one or more existing videos. Once a viewer purchases a subscription pass, they can access all content on the Switcher Player.
How to Create a Subscription Pass
- Log in to your Switcher Dashboard in a web browser.
- Click Gated Content in the left sidebar.
- Click Create a Pass.
- Enter the name of the pass.
