How Viewers Sign Up and Get Access to Paywall Protected Streams

How to help your viewers sign up, make payments, and get access to monetized streams on Castr.

Written by Govinda Sunil

When accessing a Paywall-enabled stream, every viewer must sign up for an account or sign in to an existing one.

You'll find the Paywall tab in your stream Dashboard. Once Paywall is enabled for a stream, Castr generates a URL to the protected player page that you share with your audience.

When new viewers open your paid stream, they sign up for a viewer account and make a payment to continue. Signing up is simple — just name, email, and password.

Once logged in, they can complete the payment here and apply a promo code if they have one.

After payment, the viewer lands on this page.

From here they can manage their account or open any content they have access to.

One account can unlock multiple monetized streams, so viewers can reuse the same account for future streams on Castr. They can also view their account information and access status right on the stream page.

Note: Viewers cannot share a paid account. Castr enforces a session limit, so the same account cannot be used to watch from two places at the same time. You can adjust how many simultaneous devices are allowed with the Concurrent Viewing Limit setting in the paywall's Access section.
