Services · Ecommerce development · Video streaming membership sites
Codeeo handles video streaming membership website development in Riyadh for production houses, event organisers, fitness and sports brands, trainers and media teams who want viewers to pay for access. We build the web platform itself: membership tiers, gated video libraries and live streams, checkout with mada and Apple Pay, renewals, a member portal and the admin your team uses every day. Our Riyadh team can sit with you in your own office, so the membership rules are agreed face to face before a single screen is drawn.
This is a commerce project as much as a video one. The questions that decide success are who pays, how often, what they get for it and what happens when a card is declined, and those are the questions we settle first.

What the platform includes
A paying member in Riyadh expects the same things from a small creator library as from a large broadcaster: a clear choice of plan, a checkout that accepts the card already in their wallet, and video that starts quickly on a home connection in Al Malqa or a phone on the metro. Behind that, your team needs to know who is paying, who is about to lapse and which content earns renewals. We build both sides on one platform. The capabilities below are the ones Riyadh clients ask for most often; a first release usually carries five or six of them, and the rest are added once real member behaviour shows where the value sits. Every screen is built Arabic first with a full right to left layout, and English is added where your audience needs it, which in the capital it usually does.
Free, standard and premium tiers, monthly and annual cycles, and short passes for a single event or season. Each tier maps to content rules, so moving a series from premium to standard is a setting rather than a code change. Plan names, descriptions and the comparison table are edited in Arabic and English from the CMS by your own team.
Pricing experiments happen in the admin, not in a developer's backlog.
Every video, playlist and live stream carries an access rule tied to a tier, a date window or a one-off purchase. Visitors who are not members see the trailer, the synopsis and the plan that includes the title. Members receive signed playback links that expire, so a link forwarded to a group chat stops working within minutes.
Paid content stays behind the paywall even when links travel.
mada debit cards, Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay and STC Bank through a SAMA licensed payment gateway, with Tabby or Tamara offered on annual plans if you choose. Card details never touch your server, because the gateway tokenises them for renewals. We confirm with your gateway which methods support recurring charges, since mada rules differ from credit cards.
Members pay with what they already use, and renewals do not ask for the card again.
Reminders by email and SMS before each renewal, retries on declined charges, a grace period you set and a clear notice when access pauses. Members whose cards cannot be charged automatically receive a short renewal link instead. Your team opens the admin each morning to a list of members about to lapse.
Fewer members lost to an expired card or an ignored message.
One place for members to change plan, update a card, download tax invoices, manage devices and cancel. Upgrades apply at once, downgrades at the end of the paid period, and the rule is shown in plain Arabic before anyone confirms. Family accounts can be limited by the number of streams playing at the same time.
Account questions are answered by the portal rather than your support line.
Every charge, renewal and refund produces an e-invoice in the format ZATCA requires under Fatoora, with VAT shown, stored in the portal and sent by email. We connect the platform to your accounting system or to Odoo, so the finance team does not rebuild payment records by hand at month end.
Tax records match payments without manual reconciliation.
When a concert, a fight night or a conference in Riyadh is streamed, demand arrives in one burst. We add pay per view passes beside memberships, a waiting room before start time, and delivery through a CDN with capacity close to Saudi viewers, so checkout and playback hold when thousands buy in the final hour.
A headline event becomes a membership drive instead of an outage.
Ministries, companies in KAFD and training providers often buy seats for staff. We add organisation accounts with a seat count, an administrator who invites colleagues by work email, invoices issued against a commercial registration and VAT number, and reports showing which titles staff actually watched.
One contract covers many viewers, with usage the buyer can see.
Dashboards for sign ups, conversion by plan, renewals, cancellations with reasons and watch time per title. Analytics cookies wait for consent recorded under PDPL, and event data is stored in a region you approve. Marketing tags fire only after the visitor agrees.
You see which titles earn renewals and which plans people leave.
Who this is for
Membership video works when there is a steady supply of content that people come back for. In Riyadh that supply tends to come from four places: the entertainment and events economy, the sports and fitness scene, professional training for government and corporate staff, and producers sitting on an archive. Each needs different tiers, a different payment rhythm and a different first release. Video streaming subscription website development in Riyadh therefore starts from your content schedule, not from a fixed package of features.
Season events, concerts and conferences create content once and can sell it several times. We set up passes for the live stream, a replay window for pass holders and a membership that keeps last season's archive available all year. The site carries the schedule, the trailers and the checkout, and a pass can convert into a membership after the event if you decide to offer that. Riyadh Season style peaks shape the hosting plan from day one.
Plan capacity for the start time, not the average day.
Studios and coaches with a strong following sell classes and programmes as monthly memberships. We build class libraries filtered by level, length and equipment, scheduled live sessions with a replay, separate ladies' and men's programmes where you run them, and simple progress tracking in the member portal. Instructors upload sessions from the admin without waiting for a developer.
Separate programmes can carry separate tiers and prices.
Firms that train government and corporate staff in Riyadh need gated libraries that a client organisation pays for in one go. We build seat based memberships, watch records that a client's HR team can export, Arabic and English versions of each session and invoices that suit procurement departments. Individual professionals can still buy their own membership on the same platform.
Group seats remove dozens of individual sign ups.
A back catalogue of documentaries, series or talk shows can fund new work if viewers pay for it directly. We migrate the archive, tag each title in Arabic and English, set rights windows per title, and protect premium files with DRM. New releases can go to the top tier first and move to the standard tier later.
Rights are set per title, not per site.
How we work
Codeeo has a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. For clients in Riyadh, the discovery workshop and design reviews can happen in person at your office. You get one project lead, a written list of what goes into the first release and a staging site you can test at any time. The work covers video streaming membership payment integration in Riyadh as well as the site, so the gateway, invoices and access rules are built and tested by the same team.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We usually build the site in Next.js with a headless CMS for Arabic and English content, a managed video platform for encoding and adaptive streaming, multi-DRM for premium titles and a SAMA licensed gateway for payments. Hosting region and data location are chosen with you against PDPL and NCA requirements.

It depends on the number of tiers, the size of your library and how quickly your gateway approves recurring charges.
The build is rarely the slowest part. Gateway onboarding, recurring payment approval and ZATCA e-invoicing setup involve third parties, so we start them in the first week. A focused first release with two or three tiers, a gated library and the member portal moves faster than one that also includes live events, corporate seats and a large archive migration. After the workshop we give you a written plan showing each stage and what it depends on.
