Pay Per View (PPV)

How does this work?

Users can register on site as different roles (customisable): performers and clients.

Plugin implements pages for specific functionality: live webcams, performer dashboard, studio dashboard, videochat room pages.

Performers can start live webcam rooms and clients can see list of live webcams with snapshots on an site page. Performers can also checkin other performers when starting a session (if multi performer group session is paid, payment is split to all performers).

Private Show: Client goes to selected performer’s room (public chat with live performer video) and requests a private show with the dedicated, simple to use Show button.
If performer accepts, performer hides from public chat and goes with client to private chat for a paid private show.
Performer can also reject requests or toggle his status to reject all requests automatically or hide.

Group PPV: Performer can also start room in paid group mode. All users that enter get charged per minute after a grace time. Group cost per minute can be seen in listings and in room when accessing.
Admins can define multiple custom group modes (ex: free, paid, special) with different cost per minute and enable special user modes (2 Way mode, Voyeur mode).

Group Modes  Multiple Performer Shows 

Pay Per Minute Videochat

Solution allows performers to broadcast private live pay per view (PPV) shows incorporating video, audio, and chat.

The pay per minute (PPM) rate for private shows can be configured on a per host basis between limits set by administrator (minimum and maximum cost per minute).  Administrator can also disable this feature and configure a default cost per minute (CPM) for all private shows.
Administrator can also set custom CPM for each performer by quick editing webcams from backend.

Solution also allows configuring a grace time, meaning a number of warmup seconds provided for free before paid show starts.

For group paid modes, administrators configure different modes with custom cost per minute. When going live, performer can select desired mode (and cost per minute) for options list.

There are multiple billing options and settings.

Billing (Tokens/Credits)

Clients can prepay credits (tokens) that show in a site wallet and can be used anytime later in chat to pay for private shows per minute, send tips to performers or access paid content. Tokens can be used for services from different performers and content from different owners, anytime after deposit.

Payments (real money) go into accounts configured by site owner, setup with billing gateways (like Paypal, Zombaio).

Solution is able to work with 2 credit wallet plugins: myCRED  and WooComerce Wallet (WooWallet).

Any or both can be used, as necessary. In multi wallet mode, an active wallet can be chosen for videochat activities and tokens can be transferred manually or automatically to that wallet.

Clients spend credits (tokens) in pay per minute private shows or by sending tips to performers or to buy various items.
Performers receive amounts of credits in their site wallet depending on backend settings (can receive 100% or lower commissions).

Clients can spend credits (tokens) for :

MyCred and WooWallet are 3rd party billing plugins that have own providers, developers, premium extensions and support and can be used as necessary.

Payouts / Withdrawals

Webmaster can see balance for all users and adjust as necessary (in example when making payouts to performers manually with a method of choice).
Webmaster can define administrative records, fields to request details from performers including payout method. These administrative records show when approving users and reviewing records is accessible from users list, same as adjusting balance with myCred or WooWallet.
There is a premium plugin for TeraWallet (WooWallet) Withdrawal that can be used on some projects.

After licensing original solution our developers can also implement custom tools for payouts, depending on requirements or implementation of different credit management and purchase plugin.
