Paid digital seasons and video memberships for New York stages and studios.

We take on video streaming membership website development New York arts presenters, clubs, filmmakers and fitness brands rely on to turn recorded work into recurring income. Think of a downtown theater offering a digital season pass, a Village jazz room selling a members archive of past sets, or a Flatiron studio streaming its class library to former regulars who moved upstate. Codeeo builds the member site, the billing behind it and the access rules that decide who can press play, with New York's data security law and its automatic renewal statute built into the design.

New Yorkers already pay for plenty of subscriptions, so yours has to justify itself quickly. That means a clear offer, a checkout that respects their time, and a library that feels curated rather than dumped online. It also means a cancel button that works, because New York consumers know their rights and use them.

What we build

Membership features that suit how New York audiences pay.

Arts organizations in New York already understand membership. Many sell patron levels with perks such as early booking and member events. A video membership extends that model online: the same supporter who buys a mid level patron package can also get the digital archive, and someone in Ohio who will never see the show in person can still pay to watch it. The features below come from that thinking. Some are commerce mechanics, like tiered billing and failed payment recovery. Others are about the content itself: recordings released in seasons, program notes beside each video, and clear credits for the artists. We also design for the legal side early, because New York's SHIELD Act, its rules on automatic renewals and its Child Data Protection Act each touch the checkout or the account area.

Explain your project
  • Digital season passes

    Sell a season of recorded productions or concerts as one pass, with each title released on a set date and available until the season closes. Single title rentals sit alongside for people who want just one show.

    A predictable release rhythm that brings members back each month.

  • Patron levels with video perks

    Map existing donor or patron levels to online access, so a higher level includes the archive, behind the scenes material and member talks. The site can record which part of a payment is a membership benefit and which is a gift, for your finance team.

    Video becomes a reason to join or upgrade, not a separate product.

  • Program notes and credits

    Every recording carries a page with cast and creative credits, program notes, running time and content advisories, editable by your staff. Credits follow the terms of your union and artist agreements.

    Artists get proper credit and members get context.

  • Checkout that respects consent

    Clear renewal terms, price and cancellation method next to the consent box, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and an acknowledgment email that repeats the terms. This is the part of video streaming membership payment integration New York organizations most often get wrong on off the shelf plugins.

    Renewals that hold up if a member disputes one.

  • Easy online cancellation

    Members who joined online can stop online from the account page, with any offer to pause shown once and a confirmation sent immediately. Renewal reminders go out before longer plans renew.

    Cancellation is calm, quick and recorded.

  • Live streams with replay

    Opening nights, talkbacks or a weekly set streamed live to members, with replay placed in the archive afterwards and expiring when the rights window closes.

    One event serves live viewers and later subscribers.

  • Security built for the SHIELD Act

    Encrypted storage, role based staff access, logging and an incident plan, matching the reasonable safeguards New York expects of businesses holding New Yorkers' private information, plus breach notification steps.

    A written security program you can show a board or auditor.

  • Failed payment recovery

    Automatic retries timed to when cards usually clear, card updater services from the processor, and friendly reminders that let a member fix an expired card from the email. Access pauses only after the last reminder, never on the first decline.

    Fewer members lost to a card that simply expired.

  • Gift memberships

    A supporter buys three or twelve months for a friend or relative, chooses a send date and a message, and the recipient activates with an email address. Gifts do not auto renew unless the recipient opts in, which keeps renewal rules simple.

    Holiday and opening night gifting becomes a sales channel.

  • Accessible playback

    Captions, transcripts, audio description tracks where you produce them, keyboard controls and screen reader labels across the site and the player, built to WCAG 2.2 AA.

    Members with disabilities can use every part of the site.

Who we build for in New York

Four New York groups that get most from paid video.

New York has an enormous supply of live performance and teaching, and a large audience that cannot always attend. A paid video site connects the two. Some clients ask for video streaming subscription website development New York style, a single monthly plan, while others want a video streaming paid membership platform development New York institutions can grow into seasons, patron levels and courses. These are the four we hear from most.

01

Theaters and performing arts presenters

Off-Broadway companies, dance presenters and chamber music series that capture their productions. Recording rights and union terms decide what can be sold and for how long, so the admin includes rights windows, artist approval flags and automatic removal when a window ends. Patron data can sync with the ticketing or CRM system you already run, where it has an API. Members outside the city become a new audience that never competed for a seat in the house.

We check every title against its agreement before it goes behind the paywall.

02

Jazz, comedy and music clubs

Small rooms in Greenwich Village, the East Village and Harlem with years of recorded sets. A members archive and occasional live streams give regulars and fans elsewhere a reason to pay monthly. Revenue reports by artist make splits easy to calculate. Clubs often add a members only live stream on the nights a set is sold out, which turns a full room into extra income rather than a turned away crowd.

03

Independent filmmakers and collectives

Directors and collectives working out of Brooklyn and Long Island City who want a paid home for shorts, documentaries and work in progress screenings, with private links for funders and press and a public tier for audiences. Pay per title sits alongside the membership for films that draw a one time audience, and collective members can see the revenue each of their films brings in.

Funder and press access never mixes with paying members.

04

Fitness, dance and yoga studios

Boutique studios in Flatiron, Chelsea, Williamsburg and the Upper West Side selling an on demand pass to members who travel, moved away or want extra sessions. We connect class credits from the booking system where possible, so one account covers studio and screen. Instructors can upload class recordings from the studio, and the editor role lets them publish without touching billing.

From archive to paying members, in six steps.

  1. 01Archive and rights auditWe list recordings, the agreements behind them and what each allows, then decide which titles can launch and which need fresh clearances. Search filters by artist, season and venue are planned here too, because a large archive is only useful if members can find things in it.
  2. 02Membership modelSeason pass, monthly plan, patron levels or a mix, tested against your existing donor tiers so nothing undercuts what supporters already pay. We also decide how gift memberships, student rates and lapsed patrons are treated.
  3. 03Experience designHome page, title pages, checkout and account area designed for your brand, with accessibility reviewed at wireframe stage, not after build.
  4. 04Build and integrationsVideo host, billing, CRM or ticketing sync, email platform and analytics connected on a staging site your team reviews each sprint. Real recordings are used in testing so encoding, captions and playback are proven on your actual files.
  5. 05Security and compliance reviewSHIELD Act safeguards, renewal disclosures, privacy notice and minors' data settings checked with your counsel before launch.
  6. 06Season launch and reviewLaunch timed to a season or a strong title, then monthly reviews of sign ups, churn and which recordings keep members. Those numbers decide what to record and release next.

What New York presenters and studios ask us.

When you want the member relationship, the data and the pricing to be yours.

Hosted platforms are quick to start but take a share of revenue, set limits on pricing and own the subscriber experience. A custom site makes sense when you already have a loyal audience, a library worth curating, patron levels to connect, or rights rules a generic platform cannot handle. If you are testing whether anyone will pay at all, we may suggest a simpler start first, and we will say so. A hosted pilot that proves demand is a good basis for a custom site later, because you then know which tiers sell and which recordings members return to.
