Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.
General
Should I show everything or a sample?
That is an editorial judgement, and the honest version is usually better. A curated sample invites the suspicion that the rest is weaker, whereas showing the catalogue lets somebody decide for themselves and keeps the ones who genuinely want it.

What counts as a package on Vodlix?

Monetization, General

What if the payment gateway my audience uses is not listed?
You can request a payment gateway by region and payment model, and Vodlix will add the integration for the markets you serve, so your platform is never limited to a fixed list of providers.
General, Monetization
Can Vodlix integrate my own payment gateway?
Yes. Vodlix builds custom gateway integrations when you provide technical support access and valid merchant documentation, and the new gateway can often be live within hours rather than weeks.
General
Does Vodlix support mobile money such as M Pesa?
Yes. Vodlix supports mobile enabled payment gateways including M Pesa and IdeaBiz, which is essential for markets where mobile money is more widely used than cards.
General, Monetization

General
Does Vodlix have a built-in coupon code engine?

General, Monetization
Can I provide rewards and appraisals to my viewers in Vodlix?
Yes, Vodlix allows you to provide rewards and appraisals to your viewers through promotional and discount offers such as a fixed amount or a percentage off.
General, Monetization
Will my URLs change if I rename Movies or TV Shows?
No. Templates change what your screens say, not the web addresses behind them. Links, bookmarks and search listings keep working after you switch template or rename a label.
Content Management, General
What are PPV and TVOD on Vodlix?
Pay per view (PPV) and transactional video on demand (TVOD) let a viewer buy a single title on Vodlix without a subscription, either as a timed rental or as a permanent purchase.
Monetization, General
When can viewers preorder a title on Vodlix?
Viewers can preorder a title on Vodlix as soon as you list it, typically right after watching the trailer, which captures the purchase at the moment interest is highest rather than weeks later.
Monetization, General
Does a quality cap lower my streaming costs?
Yes. Capped plans serve smaller renditions, and bandwidth is one of the largest variable costs in streaming, so every subscriber on an entry level quality tier costs less to serve.
Monetization, General
Will viewers notice the difference?
On a large television, yes. On a phone, frequently not, which is worth remembering before pricing the difference aggressively. The tier is most persuasive to the part of your audience watching on the biggest screen.

Yes. Vodlix organises orders, subscription requests and subscriber data in a clear, accessible format that stays current as transactions occur, shared by support, finance and marketing.
General, Analytics

Yes. Vodlix report data can be exported and saved in standard formats for future reference, so you can compare periods, share figures with stakeholders and keep records beyond the live dashboard.
General, Analytics
How do Vodlix analytics help with strategy?

General, Analytics
