Help need for info on "subscription site"

good morning!

My dilemma:
I have a client who wants her web site to accept paid subscriptions in order
to grant subscribers access to her training videos.

My question:
Can anyone recommend Net resources where I could learn how to go about
accomplishing this? I don't know how to modify her site to provide
subscriptions and then provide subscribers with the training content. I'm
assuming I'll need a backend database...but that's all I know.

I realize this is not a direct Dreamweaver question but I'm at a loss at how
to get this information.
Thanks so much

You should be able to do this via Pay Pal. Just another option.

A shopping cart with additional modules (Look into Miva 5) but if you do
decide to fo this way be sure to use only premiere host that can handle the
Miva shopping cart

Thanks!

I have used Paypal before. This will take care of accepting payment but what about the maintenance of the subscriber's information? access to the training videos, etc?

Check out payloadz.com I know they can handle 1-off downloads, but I'm not
sure about subscriptions.

Thanks for the payloadz tip... I just sent them an email with some questions.

However... what if I would like to do it on my own?.... which approach would i
need to take and where would I learn?

Thanks for any help.
