How to set up Subscription Download Limits
Here is how to get a Subscription Download Limits plugin from idea to working plugin on your site. Most of the work is a few decisions, and these steps walk through them.
1. Set the limits
A number of downloads per plan and billing period, and whether unused downloads roll over.
2. Choose what customers see
A counter in the account and a message at the limit.
3. Describe it to Ora
Paste your own version of the example request on this page, or start from one of the examples, and change the details. Ora replies with a plan and a price, and nothing is built until you approve it.
4. Test on the practice site
Download files on the practice site with a test subscription until the limit, then renew and check the count resets.
Common snags:
Direct file links can be shared, so ask Ora to protect download links.
Say whether failed downloads count.
