    Paywall examples using Umbraco and Members?

    Hi,

    Does anyone have an example of a paywall style using Umbraco Members? Anyone have any simple code examples? Anyone done this with Umbraco?

    Hi Carlos

    Have a look at this site:

    https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/

    this site has a 'soft paywall' it allows you to view 3 articles per month, and encourages you to subscribe to view more... each month the count resets,

    eg see the message in this 'soft paywalled' article:

    https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2020/the-longest-time-i-have-ever-spent-on-the-rostrum-lyon-and-turnbull-s-live-online-sale-delivers-results/

    There is ultimately a subscriptions database behind it, but Umbraco Members and Member Groups are used to control which parts of the site are behind the paywall,and to allow authenticated subscribers to view more without the relevant subscription messages...

    Each section has a Paywall 'accessibility' setting, whether the section/page is free, requires registration but no subscription, or can be accessed via the soft paywall (eg 3 articles a month) or behind a hard paywall, eg the user needs to be logged in with a valid subscription to see it at all.

    But if you just need to protect a single section behind login then you can get quite far with using Public Access - and Umbraco Members out of the box: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Getting-Started/Data/Members/

    regards

    Marc
