You can decide how to make each collection available to your audience. Whether it is free for all users or gated and requires payment.
📝 NOTE: The pricing and access set for a collection are independent of the pricing and access of the individual videos part of the collection playlist. Collections and videos are considered separate content.
Gated Access
By default, collections are set to Gated, which means that users will need to log in to access the collection.
If a collection is set as Gated access, you have various options to require payment:
1. Subscription
Assign the content to one or more subscriptions to grant paid access and require recurring payment. This provides your customers with different options to become a member. Learn more about Subscriptions.
📝 NOTE: A customer may only be subscribed to one subscription at a time.
2. Rental Price
Offer the content for rental at a specified duration. Once purchased, the rental duration starts immediately, and access will automatically be removed at the end of the rental period.
3. One-time Purchase Price
Offer the content as a one-time purchase. Once purchased, the customer will have lifetime access to that specific content unless it gets deleted.
4. Bundles
Assign the content to one or more bundles to grant paid access as a one-time payment. Learn more about Bundles.
ℹ️ INFO: A customer may purchase as many bundles and/or individual content as they require, and these purchases can coexist with a subscription access or other types.
📝 NOTE: For each new collection you create, it is necessary to manually select and set the pricing and access options. The pricing and access options are not automatically applied to the new content.
Free for All Users
If you decide to make the collection free, you can set the Access option to Free for all users.
Customers will be able to watch the collection on your storefront without needing to log in or provide payment information.
💡 TIP: You can also offer content for free while requiring customers to create an account by creating a Freebie Bundle and sharing the direct link. This allows you to easily track the number of customers who gained free access.
