Enabling and configuring third-party bundling

Overview

OpenTV Platform is integrated with Bango, which allows your customers to easily subscribe to third-party services (such as Netflix and Disney+) as part of your service. It does this by abstracting the details of the individual third-party service providers, meaning that you only need to integrate to OpenTV Platform and not to multiple different services.

The OpenTV ION client applications are already integrated with OpenTV Platform’s Bango implementation.

If you have your own client application, it must handle a number of use cases as explained in Integrating third-party bundling.

When a customer purchases a third-party product in this way, OpenTV Platform creates its own entitlement and also calls Bango to create a Bango entitlement for the product.

Note that an OpenTV Platform third-party product entitlement has more states than a “regular” entitlement, as the entitlement has a more complex lifecycle, as shown in the following diagram:
