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>

<h3>Key features</h3>
<ul>

<li>Access expiration: global and per-product settings. Set expiration from 1 hour to 365 days, or grant lifetime access.</li>
<li>Expiration notifications: registered customers receive an email reminder before their access expires.</li>
<li>My Account tab: customers see their purchased Paywall products with remaining access time on the “Purchased Products” page.</li>
<li>Admin expiration override: administrators can set or remove a custom expiration date/time on any order.</li>
<li>Downloadable products: attach downloadable files that become available after purchase.</li>
<li>Shortcodes: <code>[woopaywall_show_after_purchase]</code> and <code>[woopaywall_hide_after_purchase]</code> to control content visibility within any product description.</li>
<li>Customizable buttons: change Add-to-Cart button texts and URLs depending on product state: available, in cart, purchased, or out of stock.</li>
<li>Price display: replace prices with custom text for purchased or in-cart products.</li>
<li>Video player options: choose between the default WordPress player and Presto Player for YouTube and Vimeo.</li>
<li>Admin preview: view any Paywall product as Paid or Unpaid from the admin bar, without placing an order.</li>
