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.
