TIV Paywall for WooCommerce lets you sell access to premium content. Create products that hide videos, documents, images, audio, or text behind a paywall — customers purchase to unlock.
The extension adds two product types: Paywall (single content item) and Paywall Pass (access to all Paywall products). Both come with configurable access expiration, so you can sell time-limited or lifetime access.
<h3>Supported content types</h3>
Paste a URL into the Hidden media field — Paywall handles the rest:
<ul>
<li>Video: YouTube (including Shorts and Playlists), Vimeo, TikTok, TED, Cloudflare Stream, and direct files (mp4, webm, mov).</li>
<li>Audio: mp3, wav, ogg, and other formats supported by the browser.</li>
<li>Documents: PDF files, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, and files stored on Google Drive.</li>
<li>Publications: Issuu embeds.</li>
<li>Images: Any image URL, including Google Drive hosted images.</li>
<li>Text: Use the product description with the “Hide description” option — content stays hidden until purchased.</li>
</ul>
You can also set a Visible media URL to show a preview before purchase — for example, a video trailer, a watermarked image, or the first page of a PDF.
<h2>How it works</h2>
<ul>
<li>VIDEO: an unlisted YouTube clip becomes visible after purchase. Before purchase, the customer sees only a picture or a trailer.</li>
<li>PDF: a document is hidden until the product is paid for. After purchase, the full PDF is displayed on the product page.</li>
<li>TEXT: content stored in the full description is hidden until purchased. Only the short description is shown before payment.</li>
</ul>

Subscriptions can be canceled for many reasons. By learning these reasons through surveys and responding with appropriate offers, you can turn a potential cancellation into a continued subscription.
Cancellation Survey and Offers for WooCommerce Subscriptions helps you keep more subscribers by addressing their concerns when they decide to cancel. With this plugin, you can gather insights on why users consider canceling and respond with options to stay, like discounts or the choice to skip their next renewal period.
The plugin works with WooCommerce’s recurring coupon codes to offer discounts when someone tries to cancel their subscription. It includes all the features of recurring coupon codes, such as fixed amount off, percentage off, or discounts for a set number of renewals. Now, beyond discount offers, it also allows subscribers the option to skip their next renewal, providing an alternative retention strategy.
Additionally, since the discount system is based on regular WooCommerce coupons, you can enhance your discount strategies by integrating with other plugins that enhance coupon codes. This combination gives you greater control over your discount offers, making it easier to tailor them to specific subscription scenarios.
<h3>How to Use:</h3>
<ol>
<li> Create cancellation surveys ― Design and deploy surveys to understand why customers might cancel their subscriptions. These surveys can be tailored to specific subscriber segments and product types, allowing you to gather precise feedback.</li>
<li>Add multiple retention offers — attach several offers to a single survey and match each one to specific cancellation reasons. Each offer can be a coupon discount or a skip renewal option, with its own title, description, eligibility rules, and button labels. This lets you respond to each subscriber concern with a precisely targeted incentive.</li>
<li>
Customize the look of the cancellation popup to match your brand — without touching CSS. Each offer includes a dedicated Design tab with: Popup Style — Default (clean and minimal) or Vibrant (accent-forward), Popup Layout — Default, Narrow, or Split (Sidebar) for a two-column design, Accent Color — set the primary color used for radio buttons, selections, and highlighted elements.
</li>
<li>Set limits to users, subscriptions, and products ― Set restrictions to control who can receive retention offers and under what conditions. Set parameters based on user roles, subscription duration, and products or categories.</li>
<li>Track retention success in the dashboard ― Go to Survey Answers, where you can view all cancellation attempts along with the selected reasons, the coupon codes offered, and their success status. On the Survey&Offer page you can find Retention Rate and Top Survey Answers.</li>
</ol>

By offering skipping next renewal or discounts, and collecting feedback during the cancellation process, the Cancellation Survey and Offers for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin helps you address subscriber concerns effectively, encouraging them to reconsider their decision to cancel.
<h3>Why Use the Plugin:</h3>
One Survey, Multiple Targeted Offers
Different subscribers cancel for different reasons — and a one-size-fits-all offer isn’t always enough.
You can create multiple retention offers within a single survey and match each one to a specific cancellation reason:
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Subscriber says “too expensive” → automatically show a 20% discount coupon</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Subscriber says “need a break” → offer to skip the next renewal instead</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Subscriber says “found a better alternative” → show a higher-value win-back coupon</li>
</ul>
Each offer has its own title, description, coupon or skip renewal action, eligibility rules, and button labels. Add as many offers as you need — one per reason, or one for a group of reasons.
Boost Retention Rates 
The primary goal of this plugin is to reduce churn by addressing subscriber concerns in real time. For instance, if a significant number of subscribers are canceling because they find your product too expensive, offering them a targeted discount can encourage them to stay. This not only retains the customer but also increases their lifetime value.
Gain Valuable Insights 
By understanding the reasons behind cancellations, you can make informed decisions to improve your products and services. For example, if many subscribers indicate that they found a better alternative, it might be time to innovate or enhance your product features.
Retention Offers for Different Segments 
Use the plugin’s ability to create segmented surveys and offers to cater to different subscriber types. For instance, you can create a survey for premium subscribers with high-value products and offer substantial discounts to retain these valuable customers. Alternatively, for regular subscribers, a smaller discount might suffice to keep them engaged.
<h3>Use Cases:</h3>
<h4 class="p1">Offer Discount When a Specific Reason Is Selected</h4>
<img class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cancellation-case-1-1.gif" width="1152" height="651" />
When customers try to cancel, the plugin shows a survey to gather their reasons. If the reason is cost-related, you can automatically offer a discount tailored to address their concern, such as a percentage off future renewals, increasing retention chances.
<h4 class="p1">Embed Video Content in Cancellation Surveys</h4>
<img class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cancellation-case-2.gif" width="1152" height="651" />
Add videos (or other type of media) to your survey popups to engage subscribers during the cancellation process. These videos can highlight product updates, tutorials, or new features, encouraging customers to reconsider canceling.
<h4 class="p1">Leverage Detailed Surveys for Customer Insights</h4>
<img class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cancellation-case-3-1.gif" width="1152" height="651" />
Gain deeper insights into why customers are canceling by creating a comprehensive list of cancellation reasons. The plugin enables you to add multiple, detailed reasons and even request additional comments from the subscriber. This data can reveal patterns and guide product improvements.
<h4 class="p1">Use Survey Analytics for Data-Driven Improvements</h4>
<img class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cancellation-case-4.gif" width="1152" height="651" />
Analyze survey data to track retention rates, identify top cancellation reasons, and assess the effectiveness of retention offers. These insights help refine your product and make decisions on your discount offers.
In summary, the Cancellation Survey and Offers for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin is a powerful tool to help you understand why subscribers are leaving and provide targeted incentives to retain them. By leveraging this plugin, you can reduce churn, increase customer satisfaction, and ultimately grow your subscription business.
