Subscription Site - What's this called?

So I'm in the process of building my website, the basic idea is a subscription website but instead of dripping content or allowing access to a certain level a subscription will allow a member to download "X" number of e-books/software.

It's a wordpress site so membership plugins are easy to come by but I'm having trouble determining what function I'm looking for.

I would assume I'll need a developer to somehow insert a loop counter so that when a member downloads 1 item it gets subtracted from their total available downloads. And when a download is attempted the site will first check to make sure there >0 downloads left for that member.

If I was trying to explain it to a developer, what would this capability be called?

  • I guess you want a credit-based system.
    Something like this maybe? WordPress - User Credits for WordPress | CodeCanyon

  • A subscription website is a site that has content only available for subscribers only. People visiting such sites usually have to register their details using username and password to access the details of the site.
  • You can explain it as that you need to "limit the number of downloads per member".
