Create & Manage PPV Bundles

Introduction

PPV (Pay Per View) Bundle feature, allows you to make a bundle(s) of your content. Viewers (Both Subscribers and Non-subscribers) will pay a certain price to watch a bundle for a particular period of time.  You can make a bundle of movies, popular TV series, sports events,s, etc. For example, you can put all the series of Jurassic Park or Spider-Man movies in a PPV Bundle and set a price and set a time period (Like 100 days, 240 days, etc.) for the PPV bundle. Viewers who want to watch the entire series of a particular movie will be more excited to buy these bundles. Likewise, you can create a PPV bundle for TV series. However, you can only add parent content to the bundle. Currently, you will not be able to add the child content or episodes to PPV Bundle. Moreover, you can add Live Streaming content to PPV Bundle.

Note: First you need to integrate Payment Gateway (Monetization -> Payment Gateway) to enable PPV Bundle.

• Then type the *Price for Subscribers and Non-Subscribers in the corresponding field.
• Click on "Add More", to add more "Validity in Number of Days" and Price for Subscribers and Non-Subscribers.
