The B2B Streaming Tier System connects your Second Life
inworld Tier Boxes directly to your streaming rental
management platform. When a client pays the appropriate
Tier Box inworld, their tier rental starts automatically
according to the configured service.
Automated streaming rental management for Second Life
The B2B Streaming Tier System is designed
to automate the connection between your inworld rental
operation and your web-based streaming management platform.
Instead of manually creating every customer rental,
the normal rental process begins when a client pays one
of your configured Tier Boxes inworld.
The payment identifies the client and the tier being
purchased. The system can then register the rental,
calculate its rental period and keep the service available
for management from your Streaming Tier dashboard.
💰 Inworld Payments
Clients begin their rental directly by paying
the appropriate Tier Box in Second Life.
⚡ Automatic Activation
The rental process is triggered by the inworld
payment instead of requiring manual creation.
📦 Multiple Tiers
Different Tier Boxes can represent different
streaming tiers, packages or rental levels.
👤 Client Tracking
Client information remains connected to the
rental generated from their inworld payment.
⏱ Rental Periods
Start dates and expiration information are
tracked according to the purchased tier.
↻ Renewals
Existing clients can continue their service
through additional inworld payments.
Designed for automation:
Your clients interact with the inworld Tier Box while
the Streaming Tier System handles the rental information
behind the scenes.
⚡
How the System Works
From an inworld payment to an active tier rental
For normal client rentals, you do not need to manually
create a rental before the client pays.
The client's payment to the configured Tier Box is what
begins the rental process.
1
Client Chooses a Tier
The client selects the appropriate inworld
Tier Box according to the streaming service
or tier they want.
2
Client Pays the Tier Box
The client makes the required Second Life
payment directly to the Tier Box.
3
Payment Is Detected
The inworld Tier Box detects the successful
payment and processes the rental information.
4
Tier Is Identified
The system identifies the configured streaming
tier associated with the Tier Box and payment.
5
Rental Starts Automatically
The client's tier rental begins automatically
according to the configured rental settings.
6
Rental Is Tracked
The dashboard can then be used to monitor
the client, tier, payment, rental period
and expiration.
No manual activation is normally required.
Once the Streaming Tier System and Tier Boxes are
correctly configured, the client simply pays inworld
to begin the rental.
⚙
Initial Setup
Prepare the system before accepting client payments
Before making your Streaming Tier Boxes available to
clients, complete the system configuration first.
1
Access the Streaming Tier System
Log in to your Streaming Tier management
area and verify that your system is active.
2
Configure Your Tiers
Prepare the streaming tiers or rental packages
you want to offer to clients.
3
Configure the Tier Boxes
Make sure each inworld Tier Box is connected
to the correct tier and rental configuration.
4
Verify Pricing
Confirm that the amount clients are expected
to pay matches the intended tier and rental
period.
5
Test Before Public Use
Verify the complete payment and rental flow
before making the Tier Box available to clients.
Important:
Verify the Tier Box configuration before accepting
real client payments. The Tier Box is what starts the
automated rental process.
📦
Inworld Tier Boxes
The connection between Second Life and your rental system
The Tier Box is the main inworld point
where the client begins their streaming rental.
Each Tier Box should be configured according to the
streaming tier, price and rental period you want it
to represent.
📡 Connected
The Tier Box communicates the client payment
and rental information to the Streaming Tier System.
💰 Payment
The client pays the Tier Box directly inworld
to begin or continue the service.
📦 Tier
The box represents the configured streaming
rental tier or package.
⏱ Rental Time
The purchased rental period determines how long
the client's tier remains active.
You can use different Tier Boxes for different streaming
tiers or service levels, depending on how you configure
your rental operation.
💰
Inworld Payments
Client payment is the trigger for the rental
The Streaming Tier System is designed around
inworld payment.
When the client pays the appropriate Tier Box,

appropriate inworld Tier Box.

through the Streaming Tier System.

service period.
Client-friendly renewal:
Clients do not need to contact the owner simply to
manually extend a normal tier. They can pay the
configured Tier Box again according to your rental setup.
⏱
Rental Expiration
Monitor the end of each paid streaming period
The rental period determines how long the client's
purchased streaming tier remains valid.
The dashboard allows you to identify rentals that are
currently active, approaching expiration or have already
reached the end of their paid period.
🟢 Active
The client is still within the current paid
rental period.
🟠 Expiring
The client's current paid period is approaching
its expiration.
🔴 Expired
