Global Subscription Mode

2 min read

The ‘Global Subscription Mode’ is what we refer to as the subscription system that popular streaming websites such as Netflix, HBO, Disney+, etc. have. This is when you purchase one subscription and have access to all the content on the website. Here is what you need to do:

PART 1

You will first need to create a subscription product that will act as the “Global Subscription Mode”. This means that when a viewer purchases this product, they have access to all the content on your website
Go to “Products” in your WordPress admin and “Add New”

Add a title (one that is obvious- i.e. All/Full Access), a description, featured image, categories, and tags.
Now, go to “Product Data” and change to “Simple Subscription”
Add a “Subscription Price” and the recurring payment type
You can also add whether this is a live or VOD product
Once you are happy with your Subscription Plan, click on Publish

Go back to your “Products” section and you will find the Global Subscription Plan
Next, make sure you copy the Product ID that is seen right under the title of the product

Go to “WpStream Settings” and then “Subscription Options”
Enable the “Global Subscription Mode” and paste the product ID in the “Subscription ID” section. Save Changes.

PART 2

After setting up your Global Subscription Plan, you can now start setting up Pay-Per-view videos and attaching them to this plan.
Go back to “Products” and “Add New”

Add a title, a description, featured image, categories, and tags.
In “Product Data”, choose either a “Live Channel” or “Video-On-Demand”
Add a price, and in “Attach to Subscription”, either leave it blank or click on “none”.
Click on “Publish”
