Monetization
Restrict notes to paying subscribers by leaving free: true off.
How access works
Notes without free: true are private by default. Only admins and authenticated subscribers can read them. Visitors who are not logged in see a paywall or are redirected to sign in.
This means you can publish two tiers of content in the same vault: public notes with free: true and subscriber-only notes without it.
Patreon integration
Connecting Patreon allows your existing Patreon subscribers to authenticate on your site and access subscriber-only notes automatically. Once configured, access is granted based on active subscription status.
Boosty integration
Boosty integration works similarly to Patreon: subscribers authenticate via Boosty and receive access to gated content based on their subscription tier.
Crypto payments
Accept cryptocurrency payments directly. Once a reader pays, they receive access to gated notes without any third-party subscription platform.
Telegram group access
You can gate content by membership in a Telegram group instead of (or in addition to) a paid subscription:
- Add your bot to a Telegram group as admin
- In the admin panel, configure the group under the bot settings
- The bot checks whether a visitor is a member of that group
- Members get access to the gated content automatically
This lets you monetize through a paid Telegram group without a third-party payment platform.
Paywall preview
Visitors may see a preview of the note before being asked to authenticate. The rest of the content is hidden until they sign in with an active subscription.
How subscribers authenticate
Subscribers sign in via email (the same magic-link flow used by admins). Once authenticated, the system checks their subscription status with the connected platform (Patreon, Boosty, or Telegram group membership) and grants or denies access accordingly.
