VidVix

VidVix helps site owners rent access to individual videos directly from WordPress. Add videos in the shortcode generator, set one fixed rental duration and price, then place the generated shortcode on any post or page.

Visitors see a rental button first. After they click the button, PayPal checkout buttons are shown. Once payment is captured, VidVix grants time-limited access and serves playback through a protected same-site stream URL.

Features include:

• PayPal checkout integration.
• Fixed rental price and duration for all videos.
• Local server file or remote HTTPS video URL support.
• Shortcode generator and saved shortcode list.
• Downloadable rental access log in the WordPress admin.
• Protected same-site playback URLs for unlocked rentals.
• Upgrade link for learning about the PRO version on The App Mill website.

External services

VidVix uses external services only for payment processing and optional support or upgrade links.

PayPal

VidVix connects to PayPal to display PayPal checkout buttons and to create, verify, and capture video rental payments. The PayPal JavaScript SDK is loaded from https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js on pages where a VidVix shortcode is displayed and a PayPal Client ID has been saved. VidVix also sends server-side API requests to PayPal when creating and capturing checkout orders.

Data sent to PayPal may include the PayPal Client ID, payment amount, currency, video rental reference, order ID, and other payment details required by PayPal to process the transaction. PayPal may return transaction identifiers and payer information such as payer email, which VidVix stores in the WordPress database as part of the rental log.

PayPal is provided by PayPal, Inc.
