Content Access Expiry allows you to define how long a user can access purchased content before it automatically expires. When a user purchases a product, such as a video or resource, you can now set an expiry duration (e.g. 30, 60, or 365 days).

If a user has purchased the content, and their access has now expired, they will need to purchase the content again.
-
New Payment Platform: Authorize.Net Integration
We’ve expanded our payment options with a new integration for Authorize.Net. This payment gateway allows for secure, reliable transactions directly through your video and content library. Organizations can now accept payments using Authorize.Net for content purchases, subscriptions, and event registrations - offering greater flexibility and support for existing merchant accounts.
-
Stripe Dual Payment Providers
You can now configure a secondary Stripe payment gateway to support multiple content owners.
