Premium Membership (Subscription) Features

CloudArcade v2.0.0 introduces premium membership capabilities, allowing you to designate games as either premium or free. Premium games are exclusively available to subscribed users.

Getting Started

To enable premium features, install the free “Subscription Lite” plugin. This plugin lets you:

• Manage user subscriptions manually
• Set game access levels (premium/free)
• Control membership status for individual users

Current Capabilities

• Premium settings work with self-hosted/uploaded games
• Subscription restrictions apply to games using CloudArcade API
• Games from “Free Game Bundle” are compatible for testing

Technical Notes

While you can technically modify theme code to restrict fetched or remote games, official premium support is limited to self-hosted content.

Future Development: Subscription Pro

A paid “Subscription Pro” version is in development, which will include:

• Automated payment processing
• Instant subscription activation
• Payment gateway integration

Note: Due to payment integration complexity, release timing is undefined. “Subscription Lite” will remain free permanently.

Use Cases

Premium membership enables you to:

• Restrict specific games to paying members
• Maintain free games for general audience
• Implement manual payment verification
• Create tiered access to your game library

The introduction of premium features demonstrates CloudArcade’s expanding capabilities in content monetization and access control.
