Shop and/or Product/Category Subscriptions

Ability to sell a shop-wide subscription that allows subscribers to download all, or specific content for free during their active subscription period.
Also, with ability to have either unlimited downloads, or a specific limit.
Here are some examples, with different models:
- Creative Market, monthly or yearly subscription and download based on credits, or purchase assets normally
- Envato, monthly or yearly subscription and download unlimited, or purchase assets normally
- Framer auth, monetize members-only access https://framerauth.com/
- UI8, pay once lifetime subscription and download unlimited, or purchase assets normally
There are many other examples of libraries I can provide that work on this model, but I think this is a good start! :)

More options for buyers and delivery is always good

This would be of great interest from a marketing point of view - buyers love everlasting access to purchased materials.

Just leaving a note! :) Please consider both:
- a "lifetime" access purchase option for individual categories, more than one category, and/or an entire shop
- a subscription access purchase option for individual categories, more than one category, and/or an entire shop
-------------------------------
Some Additional Selectors That Might Make Sense:
Ability to buy a lifetime access or subscription access to one or more of the following, in addition to entire shops, or categories (based on Sellix' current system settings):
- Groups
- Product Type
-------------------------------
Protecting "Lifetime" and Subscription Buyers With Shop Changes:
To protect buyers, maybe have a setting that if the Shop Owner changes the settings later, it doesn't automatically remove the previous purchase access for the buyers.
For example, if a buyer bought "lifetime access" to a shop, and the shop owner later changes it to some categories only, it only makes a rule going forward for new buyers.
That should cut down on potential unethical shenanigans, and protect buyers from bad actors (unethical shop owners), while giving us ethical shop owners some freedom to change terms for new buyers :)
-------------------------------
Ability to Limit the Number of Lifetime and/or Subscription Access Purchases:
There might be some instances where shop owners might want to limit the number of people that can purchase "lifetime" and/or subscription offerings.
Some example scenarios I made up for shop owners might be:
- A limited number, offering it just once ("Launch special: only 500 lifetime licenses available!")
- A limited, yearly offering ("Only 100 new 'members' per year!")
- Metering how many are available at once ("Only 35 new whole shop subscribers are available each month!")
Just to show you the variance. Probably need the ability to meter/limit, as if it had stock like a regular product.
-------------------------------
I'm trying to cover all bases here, to help you guys build out something that's a homerun from day 1! :) We appreciate you!
