Customise Rental Pricing and Duration per Title

The Vodlix Rental and Purchases Manager lets you set precise prices and access durations per title, so rentals are appealing to viewers and priced to your strategy. A new release can rent for 48 hours at a premium; a catalogue title can rent for a week at a lower price. Pricing and windows are configured per title in the CMS. For OTT operators running TVOD, flexible per title pricing is what turns individual titles into revenue.

Rentals and Purchases in One Interface

Vodlix handles transactional video on demand rentals and one time purchases from one streamlined interface, without switching tools. Rentals grant access for a defined window; set the rental hours to zero and the title sells outright with permanent access. Both are configured, sold and tracked in the same manager, and both appear in the viewer's Purchases and in Manage TVOD Orders. One interface for all transactional sales keeps TVOD operations simple for your team.


Track Every Transactional Sale

The Vodlix Rental and Purchases Manager records every individual sale in Manage TVOD Orders, with the customer, amount, gateway and invoice, and filters narrow the ledger to one title, content type, customer or date range. Monitoring sales per title reveals what is worth promoting and what could be priced differently. Performance data supports pricing decisions with evidence. Tracking every sale is what allows TVOD pricing to be tuned for profitability rather than set once and forgotten.


Manage TVOD Orders listing six orders, each with order number, customer username and time, a paid badge over the amount, the gateway used, and view invoice, refund and delete actions

Automated Notifications and Invoicing

Renting or buying a title on Vodlix is a seamless process for the viewer, with automated invoicing and notifications. The title is listed under the viewer's Purchases with its access window, an invoice is generated automatically and stored on their account, and admin notifications can tell your team when an order completes. Your team is not sending receipts or explaining access periods by hand. Automated notifications and invoicing keep transactional sales clean for both the viewer and your finance team.
