A consumer product’s attributes and rules are recorded in the consumer product’s version. Refer to Understanding Consumer Product Versions for more details.
Consumer product eligibility criteria can be used to determine which consumer products that are eligible in particular circumstances. For example a consumer product could be eligible only when autopay is being used. Consumer product eligibility criteria are optional.

If however a consumer product does not have eligibility criteria then the consumer product is always eligible. The next sections provide more information on this functionality.
