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

Paywall

<p>TIV Paywall is a WooCommerce extension that allows creating products with restricted access to content.</p>

<p>Want to offer exclusive, automatic and targeted coupon discounts for your customers? That’s where <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/group-coupons/">WooCommerce Group Coupons</a> will help. This extension for WooCommerce uses the free <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/">Groups</a> membership plugin and WordPress <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities">roles</a> to control the validity of coupons.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<h3><img class="wp-image-3154875 alignleft" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/apply-to-groups.png" alt="Automatically apply Coupons to Group Members" width="128" height="128" />Apply Coupons Automatically</h3>
<p>New coupon features add the possibility to apply coupons automatically for group members. This allows to have discounts applied for certain customer groups.</p>
<p>It is very convenient to have discounts applied automatically for certain user groups. This covers any cases ranging from applying a promotional discount automatically to any registered user, to granting automatic discounts to specific user groups like distributors, volume clients, etc. It can also be combined with another features provided by this extension to assure that coupons can only be used by certain groups.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>This new feature provided by the extension allows to restrict coupons to be used only by group members. This adds the possibility to control who is allowed to use coupons by their group membership.</p>
<p>Coupons can be restricted to one or more groups and this feature can be combined with the automatic application of coupons per group.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><img class="alignleft wp-image-3154878" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/exclude-groups.png" alt="Exclude Groups from using Coupons" width="128" height="128" />Exclude Members</h3>
<p>Another useful feature provided by this extension is the option to exclude group members from using certain coupons. This allows to effectively exclude specific groups from using a coupon.</p>
<p>With this feature, you can for example run promotions for new customers and exclude existing customers. You can also allow some more privileged groups to have access to more discounts than others.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><img class="alignleft wp-image-3154872" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/restrict-to-roles.png" alt="Restrict Coupons to WordPress Roles" width="128" height="128" />Restrict Coupons by Role</h3>
<p>This new feature provided by the extension allows to restrict coupons to specific WordPress user roles. It adds the possibility to control who is allowed to use a coupon based on their role.</p>
<p>For example, you could grant a promotional discount to existing customers with the Customer role, while normal registered users would not be able to use it.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><img class="alignleft wp-image-216802" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WooCommerce_Group_Coupons_Showing_Discount.png" alt="Display pretty coupons" width="190" height="128" />Display Pretty Coupons</h3>
<p>The extension also provides a new shortcode to show the coupons handled by the extension to your customers.</p>

<h2>Examples and Screenshots</h2>
<h3>A restricted Coupon for Registered Users</h3>
<p>This example shows the settings used for a coupon that is limited to registered users and applied automatically for them. This means that the coupon will be applied automatically for any existing user account, without the need for the customer to input the coupon code at checkout explicitly. In this example, we also exclude any member of the Test group from using the coupon.</p>
