Preview then pay
Let viewers watch a preview before you ask them to pay.
Capture and convert
Put a paywall on your video.
Put a payment step in front of a video, or partway through it, and sell access without building a platform.
What it does
Selling access without a product build
Paid video usually means a membership site. A paywall on the video itself skips that project.
No separate platform
The video you already host becomes the paid product, wherever it is embedded.
Access is tracked
You can see who paid, who watched, and how far they got.
In practice
What people put behind it
Content where the video is the product, not the marketing for it.
- Paid courses and workshop recordings
- Premium research briefings and industry sessions
- Ticketed event replays sold after the fact
What gets measured
Every use of it is reported
- Reported per viewer
- Each use of this interaction is recorded for the identified viewer.
- Placed to the second
- Attached to the timecode it sits on, so results map to the moment that produced them.
- On video you already have
- The interaction sits on the existing file. The source video stays unchanged.

What teams add next
These combine on one timeline. Most videos use three or four together.
Calendar embedding
Open a Calendly or HubSpot calendar as an interaction, so the meeting is taken at the moment the buyer decides.
Explore →Capture leads
Ask for contact details before the video starts, at a chosen moment, or after a specific interaction. The viewer stays on the video page.
Explore →Open links
Open any URL from a button or hotspot in a new tab, the same tab, or an overlay. Playback can continue.
Explore →Start email
Let a viewer start an email to your team from inside the video, with the subject and recipient already set.
Explore →Start phone call
Add a tap-to-call action so a viewer on a phone can reach your team without copying a number.
Explore →Branding
Control colors, logo, and player styling so the interactive experience matches your product.

What teams ask about video paywall
Can viewers watch part of it first?
Yes. Place the paywall partway in so the preview does the selling.
Do I need my own membership system?
No. The paywall sits on the video, so the video can be sold wherever it is already embedded.
