Is it right for our application?

We are attempting to move away from an online streaming video provider to Amazon CloudFront service to save some $$$. Currently we have 9 Christian Yoga DVD contents that we stream.
This is what we need:

We need to be able to process:
Pay-Per-View orders
Monthly and annual subscriptions
Give certain customers coupons or code words to use for free or reduced price classes we stream
Ability to setup and collect recurring monthly payments
Simple set up or someone who can set this up for us at a reasonable price

We have the Website setup, Amazon S3 and CloudFront set up and we just need the monetization component. Any and all replies are GREATLY appreciated! We have a VERY tight timeline.
Thank You!
Mike

Re: Is it right for our application?

Although all of this COULD be done with Zen Cart, it would require A LOT of custom coding and modifications beyond your wildest dreams. Zen Cart wasn't built for something like this and wasn't supposed to do that. As I've already said, it COULD be done since Zen Cart is incredibly customizable, but I'm absolutely sure you won't be able to get it done fast. Well, at least not with high quality...

There are numerous ready-made applications and platforms designed especially for what you're looking for, just google it. I remember seeing such scripts for around $300-$400... And to be honest, I wouldn't take such a project if it didn't have one more zero in the numbers... :wink:

Zencart is not designed to be broken apart and have just the "monetization" component used
