Pay For Post WooCommerce Plugin – Sell Content Access

Product Overview

Pay For Post With WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that lets you sell access to individual pages, posts, and custom post types directly through WooCommerce. Whether you run a content site, an online course platform, or a membership-style store, this plugin makes it simple to restrict content behind a WooCommerce purchase.

The plugin was built to solve a specific problem: there was no straightforward solution—free or premium—that allowed site owners to sell access to a specific page or post through WooCommerce. Pay For Post fills that gap with a clean, easy-to-use interface that integrates seamlessly with your existing WooCommerce setup.

How It Works

Setting up Pay For Post takes less than five minutes in three simple steps:

1. Create a product in WooCommerce.
2. Create a page or post in WordPress.
3. Associate your product with your page using the Pay For Post meta box.

Once configured, visitors who purchase the associated WooCommerce product gain access to the protected content. The plugin uses native WooCommerce functionality to ensure ongoing compatibility.

Key Features

• Restrict content by purchase: Pages, posts, and custom post types remain locked until the user purchases the associated WooCommerce product.
