Pay Per View and TVOD for Streaming Platforms

Sell to the people who will never subscribe. Pay per view and transactional VOD let viewers buy one title, rent it for a window or own it permanently.

Pay Per View and TVOD for Streaming Platforms

Some Viewers Want a Transaction, Not a Subscription

Vodlix pay per view and TVOD let you sell to viewers who will never subscribe. Many people are happy to pay for the one film everyone is talking about, or for Saturday night's fight, but do not want a monthly commitment. Transactional video on demand serves that audience by selling a single title without requiring an account plan. For OTT operators, PPV and TVOD capture revenue from the largest group of viewers a subscription only service leaves behind.

Nothing New to Build for PPV and TVOD

Selling a single title in Vodlix requires nothing new to build. Pay per view and TVOD use the same catalogue, the same player and the same payment gateways you already run for subscriptions. A viewer who would have bounced from a paywall can instead buy the title in two taps and start watching immediately. Because transactional sales sit inside the existing platform, adding them is a configuration choice rather than a development project.


Rental & Purchases Manager

Timed Rentals or Permanent Purchases per Title

Vodlix lets you offer each title as a timed rental, a permanent purchase or both. A rental grants access for a window you define, such as 48 hours from first play; a purchase grants permanent access that survives a new device or a reinstall. The viewer chooses how much access they want to pay for, and you set the price for each option per title. Flexible access models let you match pricing to the value of the content and the habits of the audience.


PPV and TVOD Alongside Subscriptions

Vodlix PPV and TVOD work alongside subscriptions rather than replacing them. A subscriber can still buy a premium title that sits outside their plan, such as an early release or a live event, adding transactional revenue on top of their recurring payment. Non subscribers can buy individual titles and later convert to a plan. Running both models from one platform lets you earn from every kind of viewer without maintaining separate storefronts.


Frequently Asked Questions

What are PPV and TVOD on Vodlix?
Pay per view (PPV) and transactional video on demand (TVOD) let a viewer buy a single title on Vodlix without a subscription, either as a timed rental or as a permanent purchase.
Do viewers need a subscription to buy a single title?
No. Vodlix PPV and TVOD let viewers purchase one film, event or series without joining a plan, using the same checkout and payment gateways as the rest of your platform.
Can I offer both rentals and purchases on Vodlix?
Yes. Vodlix lets you set a timed rental window, a permanent purchase price or both for each title, so the viewer chooses how much access they want to pay for.
Does PPV or TVOD require new infrastructure?
No. Vodlix transactional sales use your existing catalogue, player and payment gateways, so adding pay per view or rentals is a configuration choice rather than a development project.
Can subscribers also buy single titles on Vodlix?
Yes. A Vodlix subscriber can purchase a premium title outside their plan, such as a live event or early release, adding transactional revenue on top of the subscription.
What stops somebody sharing a title they bought?
Entitlement is checked when a stream is requested rather than being held by the app, and a transactional order carries its own limit on how many screens it opens on. That is the same mechanism that protects subscription content, applied to a single purchase.
What happens if a viewer wants a refund?
The refund is recorded against the order and the order is kept rather than deleted, so the history reads correctly afterwards. That matters when a card dispute arrives months later and you need to show what was taken and what was given back.
Can I price different titles differently?
Yes. Pricing sits on the title, so a new release and a back catalogue film do not have to cost the same, and a rental and a purchase can be priced independently of each other. That is how most transactional catalogues actually work.
