Pay-To-View Lite


We have used this on our website to rent out our podcast episodes. We bought the pro license because we wanted to customize the rental button with our own brand colors and to set different prices per episode. Super cool plugin! 


Super easy Pay Per View setup!

Monetize your media with pay-per-view. Set pricing, rental length, accept PayPal/cards, log rentals, and publish using shortcodes.
