Access Wall
Ask readers to sign up or subscribe to keep reading, with sign-up walls, paywalls and metered walls in one experience.
Introduction
An access wall shows the first part of an article and asks the reader to do something before reading the rest: create a free account, subscribe, or both. One experience covers sign-up walls, paywalls, metered walls that give a few free articles first, and sign up, then subscribe.
Readers choose a plan and pay without leaving the article, and the article unlocks as soon as they have paid. Publishers use it to turn engaged readers into registered users and subscribers.
Features
- 1Sign-up, Paywall Or Metered
- Ask for a free account, a subscription, or both, and give readers a number of free articles each day, week or month first.
- 2Inline Or Overlay
- Stop the article where you choose with a fade, or cover the page, and make the wall required or let readers close it.
- 3Plans And Checkout
- Show up to three plans with the best value highlighted, and let readers pay in a checkout window without leaving the article.
- 4Styled Your Way
- Start from ready-made templates, set your colours, and style every part with your own CSS.
Use cases
- Ask loyal readers to register before reading premium stories.
- Run a metered paywall with an articles left banner.
- Offer more free articles to readers who sign up, then ask them to subscribe.
- A/B test two paywall designs to see which converts better.
How it works
Create the access wall in the UniSignIn dashboard from a template, set where the article body starts, how many paragraphs to show and which plans to offer. Use Orchestration or a Journey to choose the pages and readers that see it, and keep premium text off the page with protected content.
