What it does
Many site owners want to sell access to articles, course material or member perks without setting up a full membership system. This plugin keeps the job small. It works with GetPaid (the invoicing plugin it requires), so you use the payment setup you already have. You choose which content to protect and decide what a visitor needs to have bought before they can see it.
Rules can be based on one product or several, and you can match any or all of them. You can also grant access by total spend, which suits rewarding regular buyers. A time limit option lets access depend on when an item was bought, within a set number of minutes, hours, days, months or years. Access updates automatically once a purchase completes, so there is no manual list to maintain.
Best for
- Educators selling course material on WordPress
- Creators offering exclusive articles or downloads to buyers
- Businesses providing member-only content through GetPaid
Features
Purchase-based restriction
Lock specific pages or posts so only customers who have bought the products you choose can view them.
Spend threshold access
Open content to customers once their total spending reaches an amount you set, a simple way to reward repeat buyers.
Works with GetPaid
Uses your existing GetPaid payment setup, so you do not need a separate membership platform to sell access to content.
Custom post type support
Protect pages, posts and custom post types, giving you control over exactly which content is reserved for buyers.
Automatic access updates
User access permissions change automatically when a purchase is completed, so you do not have to grant entry by hand.
Multiple product rules
Base access on one or several products, with any or all match types, which helps when you bundle premium content.
Time-limited purchase rules
Restrict content based on when items were bought, within a chosen number of minutes, hours, days, months or years.
Questions about GetPaid Restrict Paid Content
Do I need GetPaid for this plugin to work?
Yes. It is an add-on for GetPaid, the invoicing plugin, and relies on its products and payments to decide who can see protected content. It turns your existing GetPaid setup into a purchase-based content restriction tool.
Can I give access based on how much a customer has spent?
Yes. Besides restricting by specific products, you can set a spend threshold so content opens once a customer's total spending reaches the amount you choose. This works well for rewarding loyal buyers.
Can access expire after a certain amount of time?
The time limit option for the bought items restriction lets you count only purchases made within a set period, such as a number of days or months. It supports both any and all match types when several products are involved.
Is this a full membership plugin?
It focuses on purchase-based access rather than the many extras found in traditional membership plugins. You lock pages, posts or custom post types and grant access by products bought or amount spent, with access updated automatically after purchase.
