 * I’m confused on the whole content restriction process based on what someone purchases.
 * I will have 2 one time payment products, and then an option for a membership 
   monthly recurring payment option once I launch my new sales funnel.
 * they are all video training courses hosted on different pages of my site. I’m
   tying to figure out when someone buys the 1st one time product(which is assigned
   a group name), what creates the login area that the customer would use to be 
   able create user name and password? I have woocommerce plugin, but am thinking
   about using stripe or paypal and just creating pay buttons from each of these.
 * how does groups talk to stripe or paypal to make sure the customer only sees 
   what they purchase?
 * Also, if someone buys both one time offer products, how does the groups/stripe
   or groups/woocommerce etc etc know to allow access to both products? If they 
   are purchased at different times, will the customer need to create a new username
   and password for each product? This is where I’m getting confused.
 * How do all these things work together for my specific needs?
 * basically what I’m trying to do is make sure the customer can keep the same user
   name and password, but have the restrictions to content change depending on what
   they purchase at any given time no matter if its one time payments or monthly.
 * any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi scottwiggins17,
 * For your case i think it’s better to have a look at premium plugins [Groups for WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/products/groups-woocommerce/)
   and [WooCommerce Subscriptions](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/).
   
   Basically when the customer buys your product, they will actually buy a membership.
   This membership will grant access to the content you choose for this membership.
   If you also use WooCommerce Subscriptions this membership can become a subscription
   with recurring payments.
 * Hopes this helps you.
 * Kind regards,
    George

 * Hey [@scottwiggins17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottwiggins17/)
 * In addition to what [@gtsiokos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gtsiokos/)
   suggested which would work if you want to base your solution on WooCommerce, 
   you could also simply use [Groups PayPal](http://www.itthinx.com/shop/groups-paypal/)–
   this would allow you to offer one time payments or subscriptions based directly
   on PayPal. This lets you create those memberships and relate them to groups that
   grant access to your content, for example protected pages that host the video
   courses, and you could set up different groups for each set of courses. If you’d
   like to have a look, here’s the [Documentation](http://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups-paypal/)
   for Groups PayPal.
 * Cheers
