Playing nicely with others

No system should work in isolation—everything needs to connect and operate seamlessly together. ESco offers a suite of APIs and integrations to help you get the most out of your platforms. Whether that’s our standard Access & Entitlement API to facilitate slick registration and paywalls or the growing number of integrations with ESPs, CRMs and clever web solutions, we’ve got the secret ingredient you’ve been missing.

Systems Integrations API

“ESco helped guide us through this complex project and we achieved an improved subscriber experience using their API. We have already seen a significant reduction in the number of online access queries from our direct subscribers and subscribers through membership organisations.”

Steven Barkess, Marketing Director, emap

Access and entitlement

Within ESco’s toolbelt, you’ll find everything you need to help manage content behind registration or paywalls. With our standard API, your developers can create smooth user journeys for collecting registration data, managing subscriptions, and granting access based on different subscription levels.

We’re dedicated to making every user experience as simple as possible, removing any barriers for your customers.

Domain and IP based access

Your corporate, academic or group subscribers will be able to access to your content through:

Email Domain: You can authorise anyone with a specific email domain to have access and be linked to the primary order

IP Address: Anyone with a particular IP address (either a university, library, office) will be able to access your content

Tasty takeaways

Single sign-on

Ready to streamline your subscription journey? Say goodbye to customer confusion and different credentials against the same subscription. Single sign-on allows your customers to seamlessly access your premium features with just one set of credentials.

Handover service

No need for customers to log in again when placing an order. If they’re already logged into your website, just pass them to the eCommerce site where they’ll be automatically logged in, making for a streamlined, hassle-free checkout process.

Deep linking

Send out your marketing with personalised links that automatically log your customers into the eCommerce site and take them directly to a landing page for the offer you’ve just circulated.

Engagement monitoring

Keep an eye on customer engagement with premium content over time to identify those who might be about to churn or those who might be interested in an upgrade offer.
