BoxCast offers a variety of OTT apps for you to choose from. Depending on which app you're using for your organization, they may act a little differently when it comes to purchasing and viewing monetized content. This article will help you understand how each app behaves when it comes to monetization.

Best practice: Encourage your viewers to purchase any subscriptions for the first time through the OTT web app, which is included in every OTT plan.

Web app

The web app is the browser based hub for all of your content. Viewers can easily create their log in, and purchase and view monetized content through this app.

Android mobile app

Viewers can log into their personal accounts and purchase content through the Android mobile app. Be sure you followed these steps to set up Google in-app purchases and set up Google subscriptions.

Apple mobile (iOS) app + Apple TV app

Viewers can log into their accounts and view monetized content, but may not purchase monetized content through Apple iOS and TV apps.

Roku app

Viewers can log into their accounts and view monetized content, but may not purchase monetized content through Roku apps.
