In their own words
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.
