Wix Video: Connecting a Pricing Plan to a Video Channel

Monetize your video channel by connecting it to a pricing plan. This means that your viewers can subscribe and pay for access to your channel videos on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis - you decide.

Before you begin:

Make sure you've added Wix Video and set up at least one channel.

Step 1 | Add and set up Wix Pricing Plans

Once you've added Wix Video and created your channel, you can add Wix Pricing Plans to your site and create your plans.

2. Click Add to Site.

1. Set up and create your plans.

Tip:

Wix Pricing Plans also integrates with other apps including Wix Bookings, Wix Blog, and Wix Events. A monetization plan can cover multiple products, for example, if you have a yoga site, a plan can include yoga classes with Wix Bookings, and yoga videos from Wix Video.

Step 2 | Connect a pricing plan to your video channel

Next, it's time to connect a pricing plan to your video channel. During this process you can either create a new pricing plan, or connect an existing pricing plan.
