How to Sign Up for a Service to Sell Your Videos Online?

Selling videos online requires more than creating an account and uploading a file. The right service must support your sales model, process payments, protect your content, and give buyers reliable access.

Some platforms handle hosting, checkout, billing, and customer delivery in one system. Others only host videos and require a separate website, checkout, or membership platform.

TL;DR

• Uscreen supports subscriptions, rentals, one-time purchases, and bundles through a hosted video catalog.

• MediaZilla uses Paywall to sell complete videos or Presentations and Dynamic Video Sales to sell optional extras.

• Dacast supports pay-per-view, subscriptions, advertising, live streaming, and on-demand video.

• Kajabi sells videos through Products and Offers, making it suitable for courses, coaching, and memberships.

• SproutVideo provides secure hosting and buyer access controls but requires an external checkout.

• Muvi One supports pay-per-view, subscriptions, advertising, branded websites, and streaming applications.

• Livid provides video hosting and protected embeds, while payments and customer access must be handled elsewhere.

• Before launching, test the payment, receipt, buyer login, playback, and access restrictions from beginning to end.

Uscreen provides a hosted storefront with subscriptions, rentals, one-time purchases, bundles, and customer accounts.

1. Create a Uscreen account and enter the admin dashboard.

2. Open Settings > Checkout.

Rental and one-time purchase prices are normally configured for each video. Subscription access can be assigned across multiple videos.

Best fit: Subscription businesses that also want rentals, individual purchases, or bundles.

Watch for: Categories, publication status, pricing, and access settings must all be configured before customers can unlock the content.

2. How to Sell Videos With MediaZilla

MediaZilla provides two monetization methods. Paywall sells complete access to a video or interactive Presentation. Dynamic Video Sales sells optional extras inside a Presentation.

1. Create a MediaZilla account.

2. Create a project and upload the video files.

3. Create a Presentation if the product contains several videos, chapters, menus, or bonus content.

4. Connect Stripe through the project’s Monetize settings.

11. Save the settings.

12. Share the generated Paywall link or QR code.

13. Complete a test purchase using a separate email address.

After payment, the buyer receives access through a free MediaZilla account.

To sell optional extras, open a Presentation and mark selected videos, submenus, or external links as paid add-ons. Add a title, description, price, and optional preview to each add-on.

Selling through Paywall or Dynamic Video Sales requires a Growth plan or higher after the trial.

Best fit: Films, performances, video collections, presales, complete projects, and premium add-ons.

Watch for: MediaZilla requires Stripe. Dynamic Video Sales works inside Presentations rather than as a separate storefront.
