Welcome to OnePaywall

Intelligent monetization for publishers. Everything you need to maximize revenue per reader.

OnePaywall turns reader traffic into revenue using adaptive paywalls, subscriptions, advertising, and email — all from a single embed snippet.

What you can do

  • Gate content — Show subscription prompts, ads, or lead-capture forms to readers who haven't paid
  • Sell subscriptions — Charge readers monthly or annually for full access to your site
  • Sell article unlocks — Let readers pay per article without a full subscription
  • Serve ads — Monetize readers who won't subscribe by showing display or video ads as a gate step
  • Capture leads — Collect emails from readers in exchange for free access
  • Sell digital products — Offer downloadable files (e-books, reports, templates) directly to readers
  • Send email campaigns — Reach your subscriber list with newsletters and automated flows

Quick start

  • Add your first domain — Install the embed snippet and verify your site in 5 minutes
  • Create a gate — Build your first paywall with subscription, ads, or lead-capture steps
  • Set up payments — Connect Razorpay so readers can subscribe and pay

How it works

  1. Add your domain — Register your site and get a site key
  2. Install the embed snippet — One script tag in your HTML <head>
  3. Create a gate — Define which URLs are gated and what readers see
  4. Configure pricing — Set subscription plans or per-article prices
  5. Connect integrations — Link your payment processor, ad networks, and email provider

OnePaywall never touches your server — the embed script runs in the browser and all decisions are made server-side via the CDN edge.
