Help, advice & App- For Question bank and Video learning on my store

, , , ,

Topic summary

Main topic: Integrating a digital question bank (300 Q&As) and a video learning platform (12 videos) into a Shopify store with gated, 3‑month, post‑purchase access and ideally one‑device login.

Key recommendations:

  • Access control: Use Locksmith to gate content based on purchase history; Sky Pilot for delivering and protecting digital videos/files; consider an external LMS (Learning Management System) like Courses or Teachable for hosting and secure delivery.
  • Membership duration: Configure time‑limited access (3 months) via Bold Memberships or Recharge, automatically revoking access unless renewed.
  • Device limitation: Shopify doesn’t natively support restricting to a single device. This could be approximated via custom development (e.g., session tracking, IP restrictions). Engaging a Shopify Expert is advised.

Outcomes/decisions: No single app is likely to fulfill all requirements; a combination of apps and/or an LMS plus custom work may be needed.

Status: Open. No final decision; key open question is implementing reliable one‑device access control.

Hi Guys,

I am looking for some advice about how to integrate two new products onto my Shopify store:

1)An online question bank(300 questions and solutions)

2)An online video learning platform (12 different videos)

Access will be for 3 months onto a section of the website and granted following to customers following their purchase to accessing the material.

Ideally access would be limited to one customer device only, to prevent log ins being shared.

What would be the best way to integrate this onto my store? Is there an appropriate app, or is this too difficult to be done via an app alone?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @FYFocusLtd ,

Thank you for your question. I have done a quick research on the Shopify App Store, I think that it may not be possible for one single app to handle everything but the following is my humble recommendation for your concerns:

  1. Membership and Access Control App Options:
    Locksmith: Locksmith can help you create custom access levels based on purchase history, and it has password protection for specific sections.
    Sky Pilot: This app is specifically designed for digital content (videos, files) with access control for customers post-purchase.
    Courses or Teachable Integration: If you’re open to a platform that integrates well with Shopify, these learning management systems (LMS) can host the videos and question bank securely.

  2. Device Limitation:
    Shopify doesn’t natively support limiting access to one device per customer. However, this feature could be approximated with a custom integration using customer session tracking and IP restrictions, though it would require custom development. You should consider contacting Shopify Expert.

  3. Membership Duration:
    Using apps like Bold Memberships or Recharge, you can set up a 3-month access period automatically, after which access to the gated content is revoked unless renewed.

I hope my answer is hopeful!

Best,
Liz.
