• I’m trying to create the following setup for an online video library/shop. The videos are educational. There can be single videos or video groups.

    My question: How can I create the following setup?

    – I require a multi vendor store
    – if a vendor successfully sells a product, the shop admin gets a small fee

    There are 3 ways to gain access to a video:
    – a) it can be bought
    – b) it can be rented for x days for a one-time fee
    – c) it can be subscribed to for a monthly fee

    All three ways need to be available for all products.

    Problems I’m running into:
    – a product can be in the shop either for purchase, rent or subscription – what I need is an option for each buyer to decide if they want to buy the video, subscribe or rent it (e.g. like you can choose on Amazon if you want a one-time delivery or reoccurring delivery)
    – in Multi-Vendor store, no option to raise a small fee for the shop admin for successful sales
    – I find multiple ways to create overall membership levels, but none to apply access for a specific user to a specific product for a specific time (e.g. Jane buys Video A and gains lifetime access. Peter subscribes to Video A for 2 months. After two months, Peter can no longer access the video.)

    Approaches / ideas:
    – Check if bought, rented or subscribed product is in the cart and apply the according access for the according period of time by changing the user role
    – Apply subscription, rent and purchase option to each product
    – Use WooCommerce product attributes. Check which attribute was chosen and grant access according to this choice. If the video was bought, download access is granted. If it’s rented or subscribed to, download access is not granted.

    I tried various plugin combinations. Maybe I missed something. At this point, I have about ten knows in my brain about this setup. So I would really appreciate your ideas/suggestions. I’m not asking for a step-by-step solution.

    Thank you in advance, your time to answer this question much appreciated! ??
