SmartLinks: one link, every rule attached
A SmartLink is your title with the rules attached. Who can watch, from where, until when, and at what price. The paywall, the player, delivery and analytics all travel inside one URL.

- Paywall, player and delivery in one URL
- You keep 90% of every sale
What SmartLinks does for you
Works anywhere a link works
Drop it in a post, an email footer, a press release or a QR code on a poster. There is no app store in the way.
The paywall runs itself
Free, email capture, invite only or paid. Buy and rent pricing, in any currency you sell in.
Revenue in real time
The viewer pays and your 90% lands in your own Stripe account. No quarterly statement, no ninety day wait.
From master file to first sale
- 01
Upload the master
Drop the file in the browser. Transcoding starts on its own and large files push in the background.
- 02
Set the rules
Choose the price, the window, the territories and the view cap. Change any of it later.
- 03
Share the link
One URL works on every device. There is nothing for the viewer to install or configure.
- 04
Watch the money
Every view and every sale reports back to your own dashboard as it happens.
Why a SmartLink beats a file and a password
Most paid video still travels as a file and a password. The file gets forwarded, the password gets shared, and nobody can say who watched. A SmartLink replaces both. The rules live on the link rather than in an email. Tighten or loosen them at any point, without reissuing anything.
Pricing is part of the link too. Set a rental, a purchase, a free view behind an email capture, or an invite only window for a private audience. Regional pricing lets you charge what a territory will actually bear. Expiry dates and view caps close a window on schedule, so you never have to remember to do it by hand.
The commercial terms are deliberately simple. Hiway takes 10% on a pay-per-view sale. You keep 90%, paid in real time to your own Stripe account, and plans start at £12 a month. Every viewer who buys lands in a CRM you own and can export whenever you like.
SmartLinks questions
What is a SmartLink?
A SmartLink is a single Hiway URL that carries the rules for a title: who can watch, from where, until when, and at what price. The paywall, payment and delivery are handled inline, and changing the rules never breaks the link.
Where can I share a SmartLink?
Anywhere a link goes. Social posts, newsletters, press releases, printed QR codes and messaging apps all work. The viewer opens it in a browser on any device, with nothing to install.
Can I change the price after the link is live?
Yes. Price, window, territories and access rules are all editable after publication and the URL never breaks. Anyone already holding the link still holds a working link.
How much does Hiway keep from a SmartLink sale?
Hiway takes 10% of a pay-per-view sale. You keep 90%, paid in real time to your own Stripe account.
