Each Videodif account has its default store listing the videos the author chose to make visible on the store. The page shows the latest videos released and a search form. Clicking on a video title displays the details pages giving additional information and the list of sequences. You can access to the video player from this page and then buy access hours or start playing the video.

Check out the latest videos released to view concrete examples of stores.

The store appearance can be easily customized on the Videodif editor. You can change background and text colors, set a logo in the header and write a welcome message. You can further edit the fonts or dimensions by entering CSS classes.

To manage a large number of videos you can classify them in categories. Videodif allows to create as many categories and subcategories as you need. Those categories appear in the search form for letting users display only video of a particular category.

You may also display a different welcome message for each category and give a direct access to a category to your users. Please note that your store must contains at least one category to make a video visible on your store.

For videos charging access, your customers make a payment on the Paypal website with a credit card or a PayPal account. The money is directly transferred to your account. Videodif doesn’t charge fees on the transaction. Once the payment is validated, customers can go back to the video and start playing. They’ll receive a confirmation message from PayPal and another from Videodif. This message gives the access code to enter on the video (it’s also the PayPal transaction number).

On your Videodif profile you just need to indicate your PayPal identifier. In the "PayPal Image" field you can enter the URL of an image to display in the header are of the payment form. As PayPal requires the image to be located on a SSL-secure server, you can send your image to a specialized site like SSLPic to get an address starting with https://.

You can create a PayPal account for free on paypal.com. To receive payments, you must have a Premier or Business account. You must then link your account to your bank account. This operation can take several days.

In the preferences, you must activate the Instant Notification Messages (IPN). Indicate http://www.paypal.com for the notification URL. The IPN option is used to validate payments between PayPal and Videodif.com.

You should make a purchase with your own account to test the system. This will only cost you the PayPal transaction fees.

You are notified of each sale by a message from PayPal and another from Videodif. You can view the history of payments on PayPal website.

You have also access to reports from the Videodif editor to view purchases, accesses and the time remaining by access code.
