Timed Access Pass lets you lock content behind a clean, user-friendly gate:
NEW: Prevents code sharing by limiting simultaneous device sessions. You can sell access tiers (e.g., 1 device, 3 devices).
Free: protect one page and sell 24-hour access with a configurable device limit.
Buyer receives an access code by email.
Visitor enters the code → we set a signed, secure cookie, register their session, and unlock the page.
Simple settings screen + optional shortcode [ds_tap_gate] to embed the gate anywhere.
Pro add-on (separate) unlocks:
Custom durations from 24 hours up to 30 days.
Multiple protected pages, allowing you to sell different access tiers.
Custom button text/URLs for your paywall flow.
How it works 
Create a WooCommerce product for each access tier (e.g., “Pass – 1 Device”).
In Settings → Timed Access Pass, choose the page to protect, set the Session Limit for that page, and paste the product URL.
When a customer buys, the plugin emails a unique code.
Entering the code on the gate registers the user’s session and grants access.
If the user tries to log in from more devices than allowed, the new device will be blocked.

Timed Access Pass

Protect pages behind a paywall. Sell timed access by duration and device limit, email a code, and prevent sharing by limiting simultaneous sessions.
