What is best option for selling access to content based on this input:
- User can buy one node
- User can buy edition (taxonomy term - several articles are associated with this term, free and paid)
Have someone example for Drupal based site?
for now i have made small research and see that mostly people use
time based subscription by selling roles (Ubercart)
Additional it exist several other examples but nothing concrete.
I will appreciate every Drupal example with supscription, also i am interested in Userpoints integration.
tnx

selling access to content
Hi Valic --
TinyPass has just released a Drupal module for easily selling digital content based on nodes and taxonomy that might be of interest. http://developer.tinypass.com/downloads
We're working to add more documentation, but it's quite similar to the WordPress and Joomla plugins described on our developer site.
Drop me a line if you have any questions. will (at) tinypass.com

The best module you can use for this is LM PayPal. It does exactly what you want.

tnx, LM paypal use PayPal as primary method for payment, or it's act as payment gateway for credit cards? (use paypal as payment gateway for credit cards)

What i see is that you can subscribe to period, not one number
my idea is to sell edition (taxonomy term is edition), in which you have free and premium articles.
When user buy edition (taxonomy term) , than have gain acess to all premium articles from this edition (forever)
Additional is idea to allow disscusion, but only on articles from this edition
Possibly a dead thread by
Possibly a dead thread by now, but you can achieve what you want with both LM_PayPal and Premium Content modules.
Micropayment (per node) is a bit harder to do, but subscription (day, week, month, etc..) is extremely easy.
If you want to charge based on the taxonomy, you will probably want to create Rules that assign the premium content level based on term, and then assign user permission based on that premium level.
Commerce, Roles and Beanstream
I have an editorial client in production using a combination of Commerce 7 and BeanStream Payment gateways at: http://www.frankmagazine.ca
Effectively, we trip rules that set roles and time limits once a payment has been processed, then let the editors/publisher control the access time or access item by setting them up as various products.
The design is not mine, but we have hardened it considerably over the last year. While it is by no means perfect, there is no real way to protect from source cut 'n paste or password sharing for example - it has proved very reliable/successful for the client.
They insisted on using a third party FlipBook type service for PDF versions of each edition.
Unable as yet to find a suitable module solution for that collateral as yet, but should be able to silo it using the same Commerce/roles/rules model when one comes available.

selling content
I would like to have solution for this. If anybody is willing to help i would appriciate. So my goal is to sell content for a period of time. Like 3,10 or 30 days. I have tried this using commerce and role expire but that module is not suitable, it does not set the expiration time automatically. So is there any other solution ? Users should alse see how many days they have left the paid content.
