A typical sale
Earnings are held for 24 hours (refund window), then become available for payout. Payouts are processed manually during beta.
How it works
Three steps from publishing to earning. Set up once, then sell every article you publish, or just the ones worth charging for.
01
Mark an article as paid
Toggle "paid" in the post editor, set your price, and choose how much of a preview to show. The full body stays locked until a reader pays.
02
Readers pay once with Stripe
Each unlock is a single, one-time charge. No accounts to manage, no subscriptions to cancel. Readers can read on any device, any time.
03
You earn 80% per sale
Earnings appear in your dashboard the moment a sale completes. After the 24-hour refund window, they become available for payout.
Built for publishers
Direct, simple, fair. Designed around the way independent publishers actually work and get paid.
You own the relationship
No middleman email service, no algorithm deciding who sees your work. Readers buy from you, on your publication, on your domain.
No recurring billing for readers
Pay-per-article keeps the commitment small. Readers buy what they want, when they want, and you still earn.
Set your own price
Charge $1 for a quick read or $20 for an in-depth piece. Each article can be priced independently.
Refunds are handled
A 24-hour refund window protects readers without disrupting your earnings, and most sales never refund anyway.
Works with any theme
The paywall blends naturally into all 12 Fanvaiy themes, with no design work and no custom CSS.
Transparent earnings
You keep 80% of every sale and see each one, every fee, and every available payout in one place. No mystery deductions, no big platform cut.
We're rolling this out carefully.
Paid posts is in active beta. We enable it per-publication after a quick conversation about your audience and pricing. There's no waitlist; we usually get back to you within a day or two.
