Pay For Post With WooCommerce – Sell Content Access

Monetize Your WordPress Content Easily

Pay For Post With WooCommerce is a specialized plugin designed to bridge the gap between your WordPress content and your WooCommerce store. If you have been searching for a reliable way to sell access to specific pages, posts, or custom post types, this plugin offers the simple, direct solution you need.

Originally created to fill a market gap, this tool allows you to lock specific content behind a purchase. It is built to work seamlessly with native WooCommerce functionality, ensuring that your store remains compatible with future updates and standard workflows.

How It Works

Setting up your pay-per-post system takes less than five minutes. The process is designed to be intuitive for store owners of all technical levels:

1. Create a Product: Set up a standard product in your WooCommerce dashboard.
2. Create Content: Add the page or post in WordPress that you wish to sell access to.
3. Link Them: Use the Pay For Post meta box to associate your WooCommerce product with your specific WordPress content.

Once linked, the system automatically handles the restriction. Users without a purchase will see a global restricted content message, while verified customers gain immediate access.

Key Features

• Content Restriction: Restrict the content of pages, posts, and custom post types based on whether a user has purchased a specific WooCommerce product.
• Multiple Post Protection: Protect a single post or multiple posts with a single product, giving you flexibility in how you bundle your content.
• Multi-Product Support: The plugin can protect shipments containing multiple products, ensuring comprehensive access control.
• Custom Access Codes: Use any standard WooCommerce access codes to grant entry.

For Developers

The plugin is compatible with any theme using the standard WordPress the_content() function. For custom themes, static functions are available:

• Woocommerce_Pay_Per_Post_Helper::Has_access() – Returns true or false if the user has access.
• Woocommerce_Pay_Per_Post_Helper::Get_no_access_content() – Returns the content specified in the PPP options.

Additionally, the shortcode [Woocommerce-Payperpost Template='Purchased'] generates an unordered list of posts purchased by the currently connected user.
