The Paywall app allows you to limit access to content on your site via adjustable widgets or a popup/lightbox. Limiting content is an important step in converting visitors into site members or monetizing your content.

General:

The Paywall app works by determining the permissions of the paywall, or who has access to the content behind it. The permissions work as follows:

1. Admin only - The paywall will disappear/won’t be activated when the site user is a logged in Site Admin (site collaborator with admin permissions).
2. All Members - The paywall will disappear/won’t be activated when the user is a logged in member.
3. Plans - The paywall will disappear/won’t be activated when the user is a logged in subscriber to the checked Wix Pricing Plans. (Pro feature)

Form Factors:

Widget setup

1. Go into App Widgets > Paywall Widget > Paywall Widget and click or drag to add it to your page. Move the widget to cover the content you want to paywall.

1. Click on any of the internal elements to adjust the design. Change the text to fit your paywall scenario. You can also delete any of the elements you don’t need.

1. Set the CTA just as you would link any other button element.

Tip: You can link to a member only page to prompt member login.

1. Open the “Permissions” panel and determine who the Paywall will stay in place for.

Popup setup

1. As soon as you install the application on your site, you will enter popup mode. Use the editing tools to resize your popup so that it covers the screen portion you want to paywall. Remember - once the popup is open it will stay in the same place regardless of scrolling.
