A multi-party bundle is an Offer that combines products from more than one content provider. DVM manages the bundle as one Offer for the consumer, while each included product is provisioned and managed through its own entitlement.

How multi-party bundles work

A multi-party bundle uses the same Offer model as any other Offer:
  • The Plan defines the commercial lifecycle and billing behavior.
  • The Products define the services included in the bundle.
  • Each included Product has an initial Product Tier.
  • When the Offer is provisioned, DVM creates one Consumer Offer and the entitlements required for the included products.
This means the consumer buys one Offer but can receive multiple entitlements.

Create a multi-party bundle

Follow the normal Create an offer flow and include each product that forms part of the bundle. For each included product:
  1. Select the Product.
  2. Select the Product Tier the consumer receives.
  3. Confirm the content provider connection is available to your Partner.
  4. Add the product to the same Offer.
The Offer has one Plan, which applies to the bundle as a whole.

Choose when the plan starts

The lifecycle start trigger is important for multi-party bundles because individual entitlements can activate at different times. Use CONSUMER_OFFER_FULLY_ACTIVATED when the commercial lifecycle should not start until the consumer has activated every product in the bundle. See Configure offer plans for full lifecycle and billing configuration.

Entitlement activation

Each product in the bundle has its own entitlement and activation state. Activating one entitlement does not automatically activate the others. Consumers can complete each required activation independently. If you use DVM CX, the checkout activation experience supports multi-entitlement Offers. Each eligible entitlement is presented separately so the consumer can activate the products included in the bundle.

Example

A streaming bundle might contain: Provisioning the Offer creates one Consumer Offer containing two entitlements: one for the video product and one for the music product.
