Product configuration
This document describes how the product and kickback system works for a Playsite.
Vocabulary
Contexts
In this article, context means where you are configuring your products. The different contexts are site, competition and broadcast.
Kickbacks
Kickbacks is a part of the product configuration for a context. They provide the possibility to have part of a product purchase to go to a business unit.
Business Units
A business unit is a entity that can receive kickback from a product purchase. Clubs and competitions automatically get a Business Unit created the first time they receive kickback from a purchase
Creating a product
Important information
To simplify product management, playsite-products are crafted for reusability. Avoid creating new products tailored to individual broadcasts or competitions. Prioritise reviewing existing products to find a suitable match for your requirements. Only when no existing product fits, proceed to create a new one, ensuring its name is generic enough for potential reuse in similar content scenarios.
This will greatly reduce the amount of products created for a site.
Product target
The target of a product specifies what content the product gives access to.
A product with target competition will give access to all broadcasts of the competition of which the purchase was made.
A product with target broadcast will only give access to the specific broadcast that the customer is currently viewing
A site product gives access to all content of which the product is attached to.
Product type
Products with a product type of “one time” only charge the customer once. The customer will have access to the content for the duration set on the product.
Products with a subscription type incur charges upon the expiration of the set time period. Customers retain access to the purchased content as long as the subscription remains active.
Products inheritance
Broadcasts and competition inherits the products from above their context. This means if a site has products configured on its site context, all broadcasts and competitions get the same products. A context can override their inherited products to add or remove products on that context.

This competition is inheriting products and kickbacks from the site context.

The competition is now overriding the site products and has removed the “Yearly subscription” and added “PPV 49kr”. It also has 2 kickbacks added to the new product.
Kickback inheritance
Kickback configurations are also inherited. However, these can be overridden without overriding the inherited products. All inherited kickbacks on a product will be overridden once you add a new kickback to a product in that context. To edit kickback settings, click the edit button.

This kickback is configured on the current context

This kickback is inherited

The BO user has now added a new kickback to the season pass. Since the kickback in the last picture was inherited, it is now overwritten by the kickback set in this context.
If you remove the “Business unit” kickback from the season pass, the kickback with “user favorite” from the site context will be active again.
