Hi I am planning to create a e-store but I am not going to ship anything!! maybe some DVD. The main items will be varius video clips that the custumers can watch online and/or download to their PC's. I want to make it a month subscription acces, so the custumers can watch or download for a month and then the next month pay again for different content. Also I would like the feature that if a person is logged in that they can't log in at the same time!!(no simultaneous log ons) If someone can suggest a e-commerce program I will apcreice it very much!!! Also I would like to use Paypal as my main payment method!! Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forums! Sorry...I don't know of any software offhand that would do this, but keep checking. Someone is bound to come along and know of something.

On a side note, I hope you're aware of the bandwidth that this idea could entail.

I can't think of one off the top of my head either.

I don't know the perfect answer for this, however I believe that Zen-Cart's Download Manager allows you to select the number of days, or number of downloads available per product. I think this is download only, not streaming for a certain number of days/downloads.

The problem I see is if they download, what keeps people from sharing (emailing) those videos to others once they have them downloaded.

I really don't know if Zen-Cart restricts simultaneous logins or not.

I haven't looked at it in a while but check out PlexCart at plexum.com (previously ox-cart). I know that it can do subscriptions and downloadable products, so maybe it can do what you need. It is not a free program.

Oh...almost forgot! Welcome to the Forum!!

Hello- First time posting here-

I see this is an old thread but I think I found the solution if one hasn't been found already. PayPal does subscription payments (including auto-rebilling) and will walk you through the process. All you need is a CGI system that PayPal can send an Instant Payment Notification to that will create a membership (username and password) for the client in your htpaccess which expires with the subscription. The subscription content is stored in folders that are member-access only (and can therefore even be steaming media). PayPal has a list of 3rd party software that does this ranging from free to $200 here:

Welcome to the forums! have a look in http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_...rams/index.html do a search maybe you will find something in there.

Search for Subscription Manager, Download Manager, E-Downloads etc should bring some things up.
