How STARZ is built for TV

STARZ reaches the major TV platforms both directly and as a channel add-on inside other services. Much of its distribution is through partner storefronts and platform channel stores.

The engineering focus for an add-on brand is entitlement: knowing who is allowed to watch, across many purchase paths.

Building something like STARZ?

  • Distribution through platform channel stores changes your billing and entitlement flow.
  • Handle multiple purchase paths cleanly; users subscribe through many front doors.
  • Sign-in and restore-purchases flows are where TV subscription apps often fail cert.

Availability and engineering details are compiled from public sources and change over time. STARZ is a trademark of its owner; this page is an independent developer reference and is not affiliated with or endorsed by STARZ.
