常见问题:
What is Pay-To-View?
Pay-To-View is a WordPress video paywall and rental plugin. It lets you sell time-limited access to videos and premium media using PayPal and supported card payments.
Can I sell videos directly from WordPress?
Yes. Create a rental shortcode, add it to the post or page containing your video, and let visitors pay before accessing the protected content.
Can I use it as a video paywall?
Yes. The plugin keeps the protected content hidden until payment is completed successfully.
Can I rent videos through WordPress?
Yes. Pay-To-View can be used for any video content.
Do viewers need to create an account?
No. Visitors can pay and watch without registering or creating a WordPress account.
Does the plugin require a membership system?
No. Pay-To-View works without a membership plugin, subscription plan, or customer account system.
Does it require WooCommerce?
No. WooCommerce is not required.
Can I use PayPal?
Yes. The plugin uses the official PayPal JavaScript SDK and requires a PayPal REST API Client ID, PayPal Client Secret, and PayPal business email.
Why is the PayPal Client Secret required?
The Client Secret lets the plugin verify completed PayPal orders on the server before rental access is unlocked. This protects the rental workflow from forged browser requests.
Should I use PayPal Sandbox before going live?
Yes. Use PayPal Sandbox credentials to test the payment flow, rental access, expiration, confirmation email, and rental log before switching to live PayPal credentials.
Can customers pay by credit card?
PayPal may display supported card payment options depending on the customer's location, device, account status, and PayPal availability.
Can I set the rental price?
Yes. Pay-To-View uses one fixed rental price for all protected media.
Can I set different prices for different videos?
Individual pricing is available in Pay-To-View PRO.
Can I set the rental duration?
Yes. Pay-To-View uses one fixed rental duration for all protected media.
Can I set different rental durations for different videos?
Individual rental durations are available in Pay-To-View PRO.
What happens when a rental expires?
Access expires automatically after the rental period configured in the plugin settings.
How is rental access stored?
Rental access is associated with browser-based access data. Clearing browser data, changing browsers, or changing devices may affect access.
Is payment checked before access is granted?
Yes. Pay-To-View Lite verifies the PayPal order server-side before it records the completed rental and unlocks the protected content.
Can a customer watch on another device?
The Lite version is designed for access in the browser used during purchase. Access may not transfer automatically to another browser or device.
Which video players are supported?
Version 1.3.0 supports all video players. The Pay-To-View shortcode can be used with the video or media content already added to your WordPress post or page.
Can I use YouTube videos?
Yes. You can protect an embedded YouTube video with the Pay-To-View shortcode.
Can I use Vimeo videos?
Yes. You can protect an embedded Vimeo video with the Pay-To-View shortcode.
Can I use self-hosted videos?
Yes. You can protect self-hosted videos content added to your WordPress page.
Do I need a specific video player?
No. Version 1.3.0 supports all video players.
Can I sell tutorials and training videos?
Yes. The plugin is suitable for tutorials, lessons, workshops, coaching videos, fitness content, and business training or any video content!
Can I protect content other than video?
The plugin is primarily designed for video and premium media. Compatibility depends on whether the content can be placed inside the protected shortcode area on a WordPress post or page.
Are completed rentals logged?
Yes. Completed rentals are recorded in the WordPress admin area.
What information is stored in the rental log?
The rental log stores the rental date, buyer email, Rental ID, transaction reference, payment status, expiration time, amount, and rental duration.
Can I export rental records?
Yes. CSV export is available in the log on the admin panel.
Are confirmation emails sent to customers?
Yes. Pay-To-View can send configurable confirmation emails to buyers.
Can I customize the rental button?
Advanced button customization and live preview are available in Pay-To-View PRO.
Does it work with any WordPress theme?
Pay-To-View is designed to work with most modern WordPress themes. Theme-specific CSS may occasionally require minor styling adjustments.
Can I use the same Rental ID more than once?
Use a unique Rental ID for each protected media item. Unique IDs make rental tracking clearer and avoid confusion in access checks and rental logs.
Is the video URL completely impossible to discover?
No WordPress plugin can guarantee absolute protection for media delivered to a visitor's browser. Pay-To-View prevents normal access before payment, but a highly determined user may still inspect browser or network data. But the MP4 file is never exposed anywhere until a completed payment is done.
