We support all of the following typical scenerios required for billing:
Subscriptions
The subscription model works for content owners who wants to establish a longer relationship with their customers by offering collections of content for extended viewing periods. The content owner bundles a selection of content files that are packaged together and defined by a single SKU. The customer is then given access to the files within this SKU for a predefined time-period. The subscription ends when the customer's access expires regardless of whether all content has been viewed.
Pay per view (PPV)
The pay per view model is similar to a standard rental store program, which allows a customer to view a piece of content for a specified time-period. The content owner can grant single or multiple access to the content within a time-period. The license automatically expires once the timeframe ends and further access to the content is denied.
Prepaid minutes
Prepaid minutes enable users to skip the payment step each time they play a media by purchasing in advance. When prepaid minutes run out, it automatically stops the playing and provides users with opportunity to instantly purchase more minutes. With prepaid minutes you avoid the small unprofitable charges.
Micro-payments
You are able to monetise your media and give the customer access to buying music or videos for low, instant payments. If you sell albums you can also give the customer the freedom of choice and pay for an entire album instead.
Transactions are grouped so you avoid the expensive small charges with high processing fee.
Rental
As with a normal video rental shop, you can also limit the viewing of a movie to a certain rental period. You might wish to rent out a video for 7 days, whereafter the video needs to be rented again.
This means customers can afford to view more movies and if they find a movie favourite, they can rent it multiple times. Rental period is ofcourse variable and can be set to anything from 1 hour to several years.
Existing Memberarea
You might have an existing memberarea with subscribers. With the help of mENABLE you will be able to bill your media and ensure that a customers can only view content if he provides a valid username and password to your existing memberarea.
Customers are presented with a singup-link via mENABLE, insuring you the maximum gain from your media.
It works by authorising against your current memberarea. This way a customer needs to provide a valid username and password to your membera area before he can view content / services.
