Key Concepts

Grantee

The entity that a License is assigned to. This could be an individual user, a team, an organisation, a Trello board, a Slack channel, or anything else that is uniquely identifiable.

Feature

Attached to a Plan and used to toggle functionality for Grantees within your application. Features can contain boolean (on/off), numeric, or text values.

Capability

Typically used to offer bespoke or "one off" functionality to a Grantee within your application. These values are fixed, they will not change for the licenses duration. Read more about the differences between Features and Capabilities in The Salable Way

Plan

Grouping of Features and Capabilities that a Grantee can be given a license for. For example, you may have "Basic" and "Pro" plans in your application.

License

Assigned to a Grantee and describes what they can access based on the associated Plan.

Subscription

A subscription can be free or paid. It will reoccur based on its plan's interval. A subscription has an owner which represents a lookup key, this could be a person, a team, an organisation, it's up to you. This is used to group together associated subscriptions.

Payment Integration

An external payment provider (such as Stripe), that you link with your Salable account in order to collect payments.
