    Hi, I have a training video and WordPress website that I expect to launch in the next few weeks. I will be using Paypal to accept payments. Can you suggest the best technology for taking orders and then allowing streaming access to the video? Free or low cost preferred, of course.

    Is the training video the product you'll offer?

    If you're using PayPal I would make sure to keep your balance low. I know more than a few marketers who had PP freeze and then basically steal the funds in their accounts.

    Yes, the training video is the product to be sold and then streamed to the buyer.

    I know that Paypal sucks (hated it when I was selling on eBay decades ago), but it is easy for me, right now. If the video starts to sell at any reasonable volume, I will definitely switch to other payment methods.

    I asked Grok about it, and it provided a wealth of information to consider. If you have an X account, you can check out the conversation here:

    Custom designing a solution like this would be expensive, and I wouldn't recommend it, as there are many secure, readily available add-ons that can meet your needs.

    Thanks, will check out the link. Yeah, I just need something that will deliver the video when a purchase is made and help to fight piracy of the video a little by having it streamed, instead of downloadable. No plans to develop any custom tech.
