| Intended users | The maker presents codoc for publishers, bloggers, and web service operators who want to monetize content through direct reader payments. | The product is aimed at publishers seeking revenue from casual readers and readers who want occasional access without another subscription. |
| Payments | The feature list says buyers can pay by credit card, debit card, prepaid credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or convenience store payment. | The maker says reader payments are processed through PayPal and that payment details are not stored by Content Credits. |
| Payouts | Creators can request a bank transfer once the balance reaches ¥1,000; each payout incurs a ¥300 transfer fee and normally arrives in 4–30 business days. | The FAQ says publishers are paid monthly and receive a detailed report with the payment. |
| Paywall | A tag marks the paid section; that content is stored on codoc servers and delivered by JavaScript only after payment or authentication. | The SDK can hide premium content until a reader pays the article’s credit price, then reveal it without a page reload. |
| Support | codoc pro includes a dedicated email support desk and offers paid WordPress setup and design customization services. | The maker says it assists publishers with integration and provides analytics and support; the publisher page invites interested organizations to contact its team. |
| What it does | codoc adds paid-content and payment functionality to an existing website through a tag or WordPress plugin. | Content Credits lets readers unlock premium articles with pay-per-article micropayments, while publishers earn from casual readers. |

In their own words
codoc
codoc lets publishers, bloggers, and web service operators sell content and subscriptions directly through their websites. Add it with an embedded tag or WordPress plugin; the service also supports Hatena Blog and custom HTML or CMS sites. Creators can sell articles, videos, and audio individually, offer one-time purchases, create monthly or annual subscriptions, and accept tips. A creator can set a free trial for a paid subscription; billing starts automatically afterward unless the subscriber cancels during the trial. Buyers can pay by credit or debit card, prepaid credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or convenience store payment. The free codoc plan costs nothing and charges a 15% sales fee and 300円 per payout; content gifts and buyer messages have quantity limits. codoc pro costs ¥9,800 a month and also charges a 15% sales fee. Pro adds API access, buyer email access, buyer interface design changes, and private accounts. REST API access for managing article and subscription plan information requires a pro contract. codoc says paid content is delivered after payment or login authentication.
Content Credits SDK
Content Credits SDK lets publishers charge for individual premium articles while giving readers a way to pay only when they want access. Readers use one account and wallet across participating publishers, without a monthly subscription. The SDK can keep paid content hidden until a reader pays the article’s credit price, then reveal it without a page reload. Readers buy credits using credit cards or digital wallets; PayPal processes payments, and Content Credits says it does not store payment details. Publishers choose article prices and access rules and can use the service alongside an existing paywall. Integration options include a WordPress plugin, JavaScript SDK, npm package, and custom paywalls; named supported stacks include WordPress, custom CMSs, Next.js, React, and Vue. Publisher tools cover reader behavior and article performance, with features intended to encourage longer visits and deeper scrolling. Publisher participation is free, but Content Credits takes a percentage of micropayments; payouts are monthly with detailed reports. Credits have no cash value, are non-refundable and non-transferable, and may expire after 12 months of inactivity.
