SYSTEM FOR SYNDICATING SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH RETAILERS
摘要
System and methods for facilitating syndication of subscriptions with retailers are described. The retailer can manage the customer relationship and may optionally automatically renew the customer's subscription. The platform fulfilling the subscription receives payment from a retailer and provisions the renewal subscription to the customer. A customer can purchase an entitlement card from the retailer. The entitlement card can be for a subscription redeemable through a platform holder system (via entry of a token) and includes (or is assigned) an indicator of the retailer that sold the card. The indicator can be used by the platform fulfilling the subscription to provide a differentiated or customized experience for a customer based on the retailer at which the subscription was purchased. Third-party providers can use the platform to syndicate their products and services with retailers.
