Selling a film behind a pay wall

Hello,

anyone here knows how to make a set-up where people pay a certain amount and then have 72-hour access to a film( around 45 mins long )?

Hi @klausphat ,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you tell me more about why you’re looking to limit access to only 72 hours? What sort of film are you selling access to?

It’s possible to sell digital content from behind a paywall using our Digital Downloads app, although when the customer pays to access the content this access cannot be time-restricted. Your best bet may be to use an app like Locksmith which allows you to restrict access to areas of your site to certain members. You could use this app to grant access to customers once they’ve paid, and restricting access after 72 hours has passed.

That’s a pretty cool idea, kind of like a mini on-demand movie rental setup. Perfect for indie films or short projects where you want limited-time viewing. I’ve seen similar things for small streaming events or pay-per-view releases, sounds like a fun way to share your film while keeping it exclusive.
