Web Monetization connects you with your audience, turning engagement into revenue. No friction, no barriers, no limits. Interledger Web Monetization Integration adds a <link rel="monetization"> tag to your site’s <head> – or more- and lets you define which wallet gets paid at the site-wide, author, or per-post level. It’s built to work with Interledger-compatible wallets and is designed for performance, clarity, and extensibility.

Highlights
– Add a Web Monetization tag to your pages automatically
– Configure a default site wallet, allow author wallets, and override per post/page
– Multi-wallet mode: output all configured wallets or only the top-priority one
– Visual admin indicator for wallet connection/availability
– Exclude specific users from being monetized
– Developer-friendly hooks & filters
– Fully translatable (.pot included)
– No tracking, no external requests by default
