Plugin for quick and easy paywall service "codoc"
codoc is a simple and powerful WordPress paywall plugin that enables creators to sell paid articles, offer Reader Plans (Subscription / Membership), and accept tips.
Originally built for Japanese creators, codoc is also fully compatible with users in the US/EU.
Payment is processed via Stripe, and buyers worldwide can purchase using a valid credit card (currency: JPY/USD/EUR).
After setup, the plugin adds a codoc block※ to the post editor.
※Compatible with both Gutenberg and the Classic Editor (TinyMCE).
How it works
Content placed below the codoc block becomes the paid section and is hidden from non-buyers.
Content placed above remains freely available.
The codoc block:
– displays the purchase interface
– handles buyer authentication
– allows per-article settings such as price or Reader Plan availability
– all revenue/customer management is available on codoc.jp
