Granular Lock and BBCode Architecture

The biggest secret of the professional Paywall systems used by large media organizations is "Flexibility". XenPress Paywall offers you much more than just rudely locking the entire article; it offers you the Granular (Partial) Lock capability with the precision of a surgeon.

Article-Based Lock Hierarchy

While creating or editing an article, you can lock your content at 3 different strategic layers via the Paywall Tab located at the bottom:

1. Hard Paywall (100% Lock)

By selecting this option, the article is completely locked from top to bottom. Even if visitors click on the article, they immediately encounter a huge lock screen and the Glassmorphism effect. It is a very effective and hard strategy for extremely valuable, special research content that relies entirely on a VIP subscription model.

2. FOMO Strategy (X Paragraph Access)

This is the most powerful weapon of XenPress Paywall! You allow your visitor to read the first 2 or 3 paragraphs of your article for free. The reader gets caught up in the flow of the article, but just at the most exciting part... Boom! The rest is locked.

• Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is perfectly utilized.
• It makes an incredible contribution to your SEO performance because search engines index the first paragraphs freely.

3. Granular Locking with BBCode (The Cherry on Top)

What if you want to keep the entire article open, but only lock a specific "Download Link", a "Trading Signal graph", or a "Secret Coupon Code"? This is where BBCode architecture comes into play! Select "Only lock [PAYWALL] tags" on the editing screen. Then write your content in the editor like this:

The new version of the game has been released. The graphics are truly amazing, we reviewed it all for you.
Here is the early access download link:

Thank you for reading the rest of our article.

In this scenario, everyone reads your article smoothly. However, the download link in the middle of the article appears locked. In order for users to see that link, they must either become a member or purchase a VIP membership!
