Using Wix Code to build a paid video lesson page.

I have been messing around with a way to build something using Wix Videos. My goal is to be able to sell 3 different online video courses. Each course has about 20 individual lesson videos. I have been able to build a payment gate that redirects to the course page where I have it set as members only. This allows the user to pay for the course and then create a login to the course page and watch the lessons. The problem is, I can only do this with one course. the other two course pages would be on the same site therefore the login would work on all of the courses. I need to find away to only allow the user to have access to the course(s) they pay for. In theory this is simply in my head, however putting it into a code in wix is more complicated. Essentially I would like the user to be able to login to a page. On this page I would like the user to see the courses they have paid for and be able to click on a button that takes them to the course and start watching videos. I would like to see a “buy now” button in place of the courses they have not bought yet. Most importantly I need this to be automated. I know I’m not the only one looking for this. I know a few guys tried to build a wix app a few years ago but it fizzled out. Has any accomplish this? Does anyone have any ideas or theories? If we can find the right solution I may be interested in working together on future projects and share the benefits.

I have also tried to use the Comparison Plan app and create where the redirects after payment are sent to 3 different wix sites. The problem with this is the extra expense of hosting 2 additional sites and adding Wix videos to both of those sites.

I appreciate any help you guys have.

hey
to be honest look at teachable.com to get going today. I am sure Wix Video will make this possible later on but today teachable rules. I use it and it rocks.

Hi. I believe you could accomplish this by using your own code to control access to the courses, rather than by using the site members functionality. You could keep track of which courses each member has paid for, and should therefore gain access to, and then expose only those courses to them.

Hey
Of course you can, you can do basically anything in Wix Code but the amount of hours it would take you to create especially the payment options would take so many hours. I really hope that Wix will implement an API for all payment gateways soon because it will be awesome then. I hope Adyen or some larger player will come in to handle a lot of different ones, even in Europe.

I am about to launch my course in teachable and am having so many issues setting up email automations once my students enroll in the course. What is your process for check out to an onboarding email series?

I was currently told there is no way to send an email series in Wix??? You have to manually establish every single email to be sent… im blown away that I cant set a string of emails up to automatically send to my student from day 1 to day 30 after enrolling.

HELP!

@chelsijoco This is an old post. You should post a new question explaining precisely what you are trying to do, post your code, explain what works and what doesn’t.

I am closing this thread as it is quite old.
