Pay For Post with WooCommerce Plugin

Quickly and easily sell access to pages, posts and custom post types through WooCommerce with Pay For Post with WooCommerce. I originally created this plugin because I looked everywhere, and I couldn’t find a plugin already out there, free or premium, that would do the simple fact of selling access to a particular page or post through WooCommerce. So I decided to write my own.

Requirements

• WooCommerce version 2.6+ to be installed and active
• Guest checkout to be turned OFF
• PHP 7.4+ is required

How It Works

Getting everything setup will take you less than 5 minutes with three simple steps.

• Step 1 Create a product in WooCommerce
• Step 2 Create a page or post in WordPress
• Step 3 Associate your product with your page using the Pay For Post with WooCommerce meta box.

It’s that simple.

With the Premium version, you have several other options for protecting content like, time based, number of page views, etc.

Shortcodes

[woocommerce-payperpost template='purchased'] 

This outputs an unordered list of the posts that have been purchased by the current user logged in.

There are several additional shortcodes available in the free and premium version. Take a look at https://pramadillo.com/plugins/woocommerce-pay-per-post/ for other available shortcodes.

Template Functions

IMPORTANT Out of the box this plugin will work with any theme which uses the standard WordPress function the_content(). For those themes that do not utilize the_content() you can use the following static functions in your templates.

Woocommerce_Pay_Per_Post_Helper::has_access() 

This checks if the current user has access to the page. It returns true/false

Woocommerce_Pay_Per_Post_Helper::get_no_access_content() 

This returns the content specified in the PPP Options.

For a full example of this take a look at https://pramadillo.com/plugins/woocommerce-pay-per-post/

1. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
2. Browse to Admin->WooCommerce PayPerPost->Settings
3. Go to Page or Post and you should see a meta box for Pay For Post with WooCommerce.
