In their own words
PostGate
PostGate is a WordPress plugin for charging for access to premium content. Publishers can protect an entire site or selected categories, posts, pages, supported custom post types, taxonomies and Gutenberg blocks. Access can require payment or login, and protected material unlocks after successful payment. Stripe-hosted Checkout supports one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions; public previews can be limited by paragraph count or word count. In the WordPress dashboard, publishers can track orders, subscriptions, payment status, revenue and premium-content performance. Subscribers manage billing details, invoices and subscriptions through Stripe Billing Portal. Optional Google Sign-In can be configured with Google OAuth credentials. PostGate says Stripe-hosted Checkout handles payment details, verified webhooks update orders and access, and card details are not stored on the WordPress server. The free plan has no monthly PostGate subscription, but successful transactions incur a 5% platform fee and Stripe processing fees apply separately. The plugin requires WordPress 6.2 or higher and PHP 8.1 or higher. It does not include community profiles or member directories.
