Unlock Protcol

Begin by mapping the benefits you want to deliver—roles, private posts, downloads, or event access—then create a pass in Unlock Protcol that represents those perks. Choose a name, set pricing (one‑time or recurring), define duration, and add limits or trials. Publish the checkout link or embed the button on your site, link in bio, or community hub. Members can pay with cards or crypto and sign in with a wallet or email. As soon as they purchase, the pass is issued and ready to verify anywhere you connect it.

Protect content without rebuilding your stack. Drop a snippet into your website or CMS to show full articles, videos, or files only to current pass holders. Offer a preview to non‑members and convert them at checkout. Connect Discord or Telegram to auto‑assign roles when someone buys, and remove them when a pass expires. For newsletters, sync your audience so only active members receive issues or archives. If you run a course or forum, gate modules, threads, or downloads by tier to keep materials exclusive and organized.

Run day‑to‑day operations from the dashboard. View member activity, revenue, renewals, and churn. Tag VIPs, comp a pass for a partner, or revoke access with one click. Configure coupons, limited‑time discounts, and referral codes. Automate onboarding: when a purchase lands, trigger a welcome email, add the user to a Notion or CRM database, assign a task to your team, and post a receipt to Slack via webhooks or Zapier. Handle billing edge cases with grace periods and dunning. If you’re switching from Patreon or Substack, import your list and issue complimentary passes so members keep access during the transition.

Take it further with events and integrations. Create dated passes to serve as tickets, then verify at the door with a mobile scanner using QR codes. For live streams, lock a landing page behind verification and share the link only with holders. Developers can use the API and SDK to embed custom checkout flows, verify ownership server‑side, and sync roles across multiple apps. Choose the network that fits your needs and keep data portable with exports. With clear analytics and flexible pricing experiments, you can iterate fast—testing tiers, packaging, and benefits—without touching your core site or community setup.
