Pay-Per-View is the opposite to a video subscription, where consumers purchase content with a one-off payment to gain access to the video, event or resources. Pay-per-view is also sometimes known as Transaction Video On-Demand (TVOD)
Using Pay-Per-View, your viewers can purchase individual videos, channels, courses or other event packages from your video library - whether they are live or on-demand.
The user has access to the video content until the vide is turned offline by an administrator.
