What Is Simple Pay to Unlock?

Simple Pay to Unlock is a WordPress plugin designed to help you sell access to individual posts or pages directly through WooCommerce. If you already use WooCommerce for your site, this plugin seamlessly integrates, allowing you to monetize content in a highly customizable and user-friendly way.


Key Features of Simple Pay to Unlock

1. Sell Access to Specific Posts and Pages

The core feature of Simple Pay to Unlock is the ability to lock specific posts or pages, making them accessible only after a customer has purchased access. You choose which content to lock and link it to one or more WooCommerce products, offering your audience a simple purchase-to-unlock experience.

2. Flexible Content Unlock Options

When setting up a WooCommerce product, you can now select which posts or pages the product will unlock. Whether it’s one page or an entire collection, you’re in full control.

3. Optional Access Expiration

Want to offer temporary access rather than unlimited availability? Simple Pay to Unlock allows you to set an expiration period (in days) for each product. This feature is ideal for limited-time access offers or trial periods. Simply set the duration in days on the product page, and the plugin will handle the rest!

4. Automated Access Management

Once your customer completes the purchase, the plugin automatically grants them access to the restricted content, based on the criteria you’ve set. You don’t need to manage permissions manually—Simple Pay to Unlock handles it all, providing a smooth experience for you and your audience.

5. Seamless WooCommerce Integration

If you’re already familiar with WooCommerce, adding Simple Pay to Unlock to your site is incredibly straightforward. The plugin integrates right into your product setup flow, keeping your workflow efficient and consistent.

Getting started with Simple Pay to Unlock is easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Install and Activate the Plugin: Once installed, you’ll find new options within the WooCommerce product edit screen.
  2. Choose Your Locked Content: When creating a new product, scroll down to the Access Posts/Pages field. Here, you can select one or more posts and pages that will be unlocked upon purchase.
  3. Set an Expiration Period (Optional): If you want access to expire, enter the duration (in days) under Access Duration. This can be left blank for unlimited access.
  4. Save and Publish Your Product: After you’ve chosen the locked content and set any desired expiration, publish your product. Customers will now see a message on the restricted post or page, prompting them to purchase the product to unlock it.
