Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PostGate – Paywall, Content Monetization & Stripe Subscriptions
PostGate makes it easy to add a paywall to any WordPress site. Simply install the plugin, connect your Stripe account, and choose whether to lock your entire site, specific post types, individual posts, or even specific content blocks. You can be up and running with a WordPress paywall in under 10 minutes.
PostGate is designed to be the most flexible WordPress paywall solution available. Unlike other paywall plugins that only offer site-wide locking, PostGate lets you create paywalls at the site, category, post, or block level. It supports both one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions, giving you complete control over how you monetize your WordPress content.
PostGate is completely free to download and use from WordPress.org. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no limits on how many paywalls you can create. You'll need a free Stripe account to process payments (Stripe charges standard payment processing fees, typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US). To support ongoing development, security updates, and new features, PostGate applies a small 5% platform fee to transactions - significantly lower than most SaaS paywall solutions that charge $50-500+ per month.
Yes, PostGate requires a Stripe account to process payments. Stripe is a secure, PCI-compliant payment processor used by millions of businesses worldwide. You can create a free account at stripe.com.
