Giving a customer access

Updated Oct 25, 2026 2 min read

Give a customer a video or collection by hand, paid in cash or with a pass, from Video on Demand or from Customer Manager.

When to use this

Use it when a customer has paid you another way, or you want to use their pass credits for them. They see the video in their account straight away.

You can do it from two places. Both open the same form.

From Video on Demand

Open the video or collection’s ⋮ menu and choose View Customers. You’ll see everyone who has access, how they paid and when their access ends.

From Customer Manager

Open the customer and go to the Videos tab. It lists everything they have, with the date, expiry, price and state.
