Entitlements
Determine when you can grant or revoke product feature access to customers.
Entitlements enable you to map the features of your internal service to Stripe products. After you map your features, Stripe notifies you about when to provision or de-provision access (according to your customer’s subscription status), and to what features, based on your mapping choices.
Use Entitlements to:
- Launch, change, and experiment with your pricing without needing to change your codebase
- Grant, revoke, and manage customer’s feature access
- Simplify your billing integration

- In the Dashboard, go to the Product catalogue and click Features.
- Click + Create feature and enter a Name and a Lookup Key for the feature. You can optionally also add Metadata.
- Because the Lookup Key is unique to each feature, you can’t reuse it across different features unless you archive the feature associated with the Lookup Key.

To add a feature to a product in the Dashboard, do the following:
- In the Dashboard, from the Features tab, click the feature that you want to add.
