Produce content

Studio, garage, computer... We leave it up to you to create your content.

PayPlay works with Windows Media Format (wmv or wma) files - most major software editing tools you can export into Windows Media Format. Alternatively you can use:
Microsoft Media Encode (free)
Autodesk Cleaner XL (commercial product)

Secure Media

Packaging is easy and can be done in one of two ways:

• Through the website via "Secure new file online" form - best for single audio files
• Using PayPlay Packager software - best for multiple audio and video files

PayPlay will encrypt your files so that a license is required to play them within restrictions defined in the license profile.

License Profile

License profiles determine the terms of use for your media files, such as:

• What is the price?
• How many plays allowed?
• What is the validity period?

These and other properties are accessible on the "License Profile" page. Each user account is preconfigured with a couple of templates to choose from.

Distribute your files

Distribute your secured files in any way you want. Typically you would upload them to your website, but PayPlay technology enables you to use any type of distribution available:

• Upload your files to your blog
• Email your secured media
• Burn the files onto a CD or DVD and snail-mail them.
• P2P Networks. Your files are protected at all times, and cannot be played back without a license purchase.

Playback

The first time a consumer tries to play your protected file, a license acquisition window appears.

The money is credited to your PayPlay account immediately after the customer pays for the license with a credit card.

View stats and transaction stats

With PayPlay you get 24x7 real-time statistics on how well your sales are going.

Based on these reports, for best results you can adjust pricing and usage terms for already distributed content.

Payout

As transactions clear and funds become available you can request a payout of $25 or more. PayPal account is required to receive payouts.

We charge a 15% commission for our services, a small price to pay for all costs, including credit card transaction fees, hosting and licensing.
