Introduction

You can activate subscription plans for your iOS apps from the Muvi One CMS. Once the subscription plans are activated, your end-users can purchase the subscription plans from your mobile apps to access your content from your app. First, you need to create the subscription plans in your app store. Then, you need to create the same subscription plans in Muvi One CMS. After creating the subscription plans in the Muvi One CMS, you need to sync it with the subscription plan in the App by enabling the In-App Purchase feature in the Muvi One CMS.
