01
Nine mechanics, running together
Rolling plans, season passes, free plans, pay-per-event tickets, hybrid events, merchandise with guest checkout, referral listings, advertising and sponsorship, and comped access.
ON AIRMONETIZATION
Sell memberships, season passes, event tickets and merchandise, run sponsorship and comp your guests — with every payment landing in your own merchant accounts and every play decided from one record.
- 9 revenue mechanics
- Your own merchant accounts
- Card numbers never touch the platform
- Members cancel themselves
02/ 07WITHOUT IT
- 01
Memberships in one tool, tickets in another, merchandise in a third — and a spreadsheet at month end that matches none of them.
- 02
Reprice a plan and a season-pass holder gets locked out; comp a sponsor’s guest list and your revenue report quietly inflates.
- 03
And the question that stops a signup — “can I cancel?” — ends up answered by a support inbox.
03/ 07HOW IT WORKS
The money goes straight to you. The platform keeps the record and decides every play from it.
- Step 01
Connect your providers
Add your Stripe, PayPal or Square account, press test credentials, and flip each provider from test to live. Keys are stored encrypted and shown back only as their last four characters.
- Step 02
Build the plans
Rolling plans priced by the day, week, month or year; season passes with a hard start and end date every buyer shares; free plans that activate with no payment step and still land in the ledger.
- Step 03
Price what you publish
Each event is free, subscription, a pay-per-event ticket or hybrid. Articles are free, any subscriber or one named plan. The catalogue stays open — the lock sits on the play button.
- Step 04
Read one ledger
Subscription payments, store orders and ticket sales land in one Payments console, each with its own running counters and a spreadsheet export over any date range.
04/ 07WHAT IT DOES
Nine revenue mechanics share one audience account, one paywall and one ledger — none of them waits for another.
02
Plans that stack
A monthly member who buys a season pass keeps both, each until its own window closes. Where plans grant extras like ad-free viewing or clipping, the most generous active plan wins.
03
Access recalculated live
Every play is decided from the purchase record, never from a stored flag that can go stale. Archive, reprice or retire a plan any time — existing customers keep exactly what they paid for.
04
Your own merchant accounts
Money lands in your Stripe, PayPal or Square account on that provider’s payout terms. Buyers pay on the provider’s own hosted page or secure card field, and every payment is re-verified with the provider before anything unlocks.
05
Renewals on Stripe and Square
The card stays on file and the plan renews on its own. On Stripe, a declined card gets a day of grace and another attempt, and renewal stops at the third decline. PayPal is for one-time purchases.
06
Free trials on Stripe
Offer a trial of up to a year. The card is collected without being charged, the first real charge lands when the trial ends, and the member sees the exact conversion date in their account.
07
Members cancel themselves
One Cancel renewal button on their own account page. The next charge stops, the period already paid for runs to its end, and the page says plainly that the plan won’t renew.
08
Discount codes for plans
Percentage off, with an optional redemption cap and expiry, on all plans or only named ones. Checked on the server, so a tampered browser can’t invent a discount. A 100% code activates instantly.
09
Two site-wide switches
Both start off. One puts everything behind a sign-in — free items included — while the catalogue stays browsable. The other hands signed-in viewers without a plan clipping or reel posting, when those add-ons are on.

Questions operators ask
Stripe and Square. PayPal handles one-time purchases, and checkout hides it on any plan that renews — so nobody buys a monthly plan that only ever charges once.
