To implement Subscription Linking, a publisher must integrate JavaScript code
to link readers on their publications' websites, and create server-side services
to manage linked readers and their entitlements. Additionally, the API must be
enabled in Google Cloud, and the Google Cloud project must be linked to the
relevant Publisher Center publication.
Pre-requisites
- You have a Google Cloud Project account. This may be a previously
existing account or a new one.
- You have a Publisher Center account
with your publication already configured for subscription linking.
- While Subscription Linking is in Beta, you may need to request that the
feature is enabled for your publication. Use this
form to request access if it is not already available
for your publication.
- Your publication's domains have been verified within
Google Search Console.
Implementation Steps
In recommended order, these are the steps required to enable Subscription
Linking on your site.
- Add structured data markup to the pages of your site.
- Create publisher-provided IDs (PPID) for your readers.
- Integrate client-side js for letting readers link their
publisher account to their Google Account.
- Implement a server-side integration for updating entitlements
for readers who have linked their account.
