Auto Converting Trials That Convert Better

Vodlix trial management is designed around how trials actually convert. A trial that ends by asking the viewer to decide again converts far less often than one that rolls into a paid term automatically, because it removes a second decision point. Vodlix supports auto conversion on any package, so a trial becomes a subscription without interruption. Auto conversion works because the terms are stated up front, which is why transparency and conversion are treated as the same feature.

Each Trial Is Its Own Package

In Vodlix, a trial is its own package, which means you can run several trials at once for different campaigns and audiences. Offer a longer trial through a partner promotion and a shorter one on your own site, or test different lengths in different markets, all from the same catalogue. Retiring one trial does not affect the others, and each converts into the paid package you specify. This flexibility lets marketing experiment with trial offers without touching the core subscription plans.


Transparent Trial Terms at Signup

Vodlix shows the trial length and the follow on price before anyone confirms a signup, so viewers know exactly what will be charged and when. Clear terms at the point of registration are the single biggest factor in avoiding disputes, chargebacks and refund requests after a trial converts. Honest presentation also builds the trust that keeps subscribers beyond the first paid month. Operators set the trial terms once, and the platform displays them consistently across web, mobile and TV.


Trials Managed Like Any Other Package

Because a Vodlix trial is a package, it is managed with the same tools as every other offer: the same list, the same status field and the same inactive switch. Trials are defined under Packages and Subscriptions, so your team does not learn a separate system or maintain trial logic elsewhere. Reporting treats trial subscribers as a segment you can track through to conversion. Consistent management keeps trials simple to run and easy to measure.


Optional Card Details at Trial Signup

Vodlix trials can require card details at signup. Taking a payment method up front reduces the number of people who start a trial, but the subscribers who do complete signup are far more likely to convert and stay. This filters out casual signups and leaves an audience that intends to become paying customers. Operators choose whether to require a card based on their acquisition strategy, and the platform handles the auto conversion and billing either way.


Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

Does a Vodlix free trial convert to a paid subscription automatically?
Yes. When you set a trial length on a Vodlix package, the trial rolls into the paid term automatically on its end date, with no second decision required from the subscriber.
Will viewers know the price before starting a Vodlix trial?
Yes. Vodlix displays the trial length and the follow on price before a viewer confirms signup, on web, mobile and TV, which keeps conversions clean and disputes rare.
Can I run more than one free trial offer at the same time?
Yes. Because each Vodlix trial is its own package, you can run several trials with different lengths for different campaigns, partners or markets, and retire one without affecting the others.
Why should trial terms be shown up front?
Clear trial terms at signup are the single biggest factor in avoiding chargebacks, disputes and refund requests after a trial converts, and they build the trust that keeps subscribers beyond the first paid month.
Should I require card details for a free trial?
Requiring a card reduces the number of trial signups but produces subscribers who are far more likely to convert and stay. Vodlix supports either approach, so you can choose based on your acquisition strategy.
Can a viewer cancel during the trial?
Yes, and they should be able to easily. A trial somebody cannot get out of generates chargebacks and complaints that cost more than the subscription was worth, and it is the fastest way to make an automatic conversion look like a trap.
How do I tell whether my trial is working?
Look at what people did in the first week rather than at the conversion number alone. Because trials, viewing and payments all sit against the same accounts, you can read behaviour and outcome together instead of reconciling two systems.
Can I stop offering a trial without affecting people on one?
Yes. Because the trial is a package, setting it inactive stops new people starting it and leaves everybody currently in one exactly where they are, running to its normal end.
