setting up pay per view with eStore… do I also need eMember?

[sophie1]

Sorry, I didnt see your most recent post before I sent the last one. Have to digest what you just wrote. Thanks!

A single “vdisk” membership level.

[sophie1]

Thank you. But here’s the thing..that approach is more than I want to do on my site. The Ecard is simply a birthday greeting: $1.00, 3 days, the party’s over. When kids happen to LOVE the Ecard, or if a parent is on the site and, nevermind the Ecard, just wants to buy the “Vdisc”(lol yeah the acronym..) then I just want a second option- the unlimited views option- that can be purchased.

Is this a workable setup? The customer wants the Vdisc. They register for the (free) Vdisc membership. The new member is then brought to a page that has the same name selection drop-down menu as my Home Page(barnyardbirthday.co). They select the name they want, pay $5.00, and view an embedded protected video as often as they want.

thanks.

We need to clarify the purpose of the Vdisc. Is it:

1. Allow a specific “birthday person” unlimited views of a specific video?

Or:

2. Allow a buyer the ability to (over the course of time) buy videos and then add them to a collection; of which they can generate fresh links to send out at any time?

The scenario I previously described was for #2. For #1, you would have to have one membership level for each video. And each membership would be $5 and non-expiring. You’d then offer the choice of either $1 or $5 on your product pages.

But in order to pull this off, you’d also need the ability to “gift” the memberships, because the person buying the membership is not necessarily the parent. The buyer would then get the previously discussed 100% coupon code and instructions to give the “birthday person.”

“For #1, you would have to have one membership level for each video. And each membership would be $5 and non-expiring. You’d then offer the choice of either $1 or $5 on your product pages.”

Yes exactly what I want. No purchase history functionality, and yes again, the gifting is exactly what I want.

Now, am I creating a visual disaster by having an ever-growing (400+) list of membership

“levels(names)”?

thank you!

[wzp]

I think the maximum limit is like: 4,294,967,295

%’)

[sophie1]

lol thanks. Ok gifting. I was thinking emember would spit out a bunch of serial numbers for me, but I didnt see where it will do that. Did I just miss it, or do I have to make up numbers?

thanks

[wzp]

You gotta make up the numbers. And don’t be obvious about the pattern! Here’s a suggestion for helping you create them:

[sophie1]

Oops. Ok yes…google serial number generator, push the button, generate as many as you want, paste them into emember. That’s it? (wish I was 10 years younger).

[sophie1]

Yea, just came back from making them and saw your post.

thanks again!!

Trying to start setting up emember. Again, my site offers a personalized ppv Ecard through estore, and the same ppv vid (unlimited views/”Vdisc”}) thru emember, with each new member “level” corresponding to one name. I’m confused about assigning global protection from non-members. Do I need that? Each time I add a new membership level, eg “Thomas”, I am assigning exclusive access to the Thomas vid to that member alone. So, I’m guessing that I can skip the global protection for non-members, as there is nothing to protect against. Is that correct?

[wzp]

Please be more specific about what particular setting you are asking about (as in which screen). If you are asking about the “Membership Level” screen, you have one level for each of your memberships. There is no “non-membership” level required.

[sophie1]

I am confused about what to do in the Manage Content Protection tab:

“First of all, globally protect the content on your site by selecting “General Protection” from the drop-down box below and then select the items that should be protected from non-logged in users.”

It says protected from “non-logged in users.” Besides signup/login, the only emember pages on my site will be either the buy now/member level pages and the emember shortcode protected video pages. It seems to me like I don’t have to protect anything from non-logged in users. Is that correct? Hope I’ve explained myself well enough.

thank you.

[wzp]

Since you are setting the content protections, as you create your pages, you don’t need to concern yourself with this tab. It’s primarily used if you have a large number of existing posts that were previously created.

[sophie1]

Yay!

thank you!
