<h4>The building power of WordPress combined with the payment processing power of Stripe</h4>
<p>WordPress has all the tools that you need to build content that is worth buying, but what is the best way to actually sell it?</p>
<p>Traditional e-commerce plugins typically integrate with payment gateways to process payments, but often try to recreate existing payment features such as order management directly on your WordPress website. Although handling some payment processes on-site is necessary for some e-commerce websites, it adds complexity that is not necessary for most websites.</p>
<p>Instead of recreating payment features within WordPress, Restrict With Stripe harnesses the full power of Stripe to handle the entire e-commerce workflow including:<br />
* Hosted checkout page built to maximize conversions powered by Stripe Checkout<br />
* Hosted customer portal where users can view their payment history and manage their subscriptions<br />
* Streamlined dashboard for site administrators to manage products, customers, subscriptions, and more<br />
* Integrated tax solution with powered by Stripe Tax<br />
* Advanced reporting features</p>
<p>Build your content with WordPress. Let Stripe handle the payments.</p>
<h4>Streamlined Setup</h4>
<ol>
<li>Connect to Stripe: Integrate your site with Stripe.</li>
<li>Create Products in Stripe: Create a product for each post, page, category, or tag that you want to sell access to.</li>
<li>Add Restrictions to Site Content: Restrict access to content you want to sell.</li>
<li>Link to Stripe Customer Portal: Link users to their payment history and let them manage their subscriptions.</li>
<li>Customize Advanced Settings: Customize the plugin to fit the needs of your specific site.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Building a Membership Site?</h4>
<p>Restrict With Stripe is a great streamlined solution for selling access to posts and pages, but if you are trying to build a more advanced membership website and need additional features such as restricting other types of content, adding custom fields at checkout, building a member directory or integrating with other WordPress plugins, then <a href="https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Paid Memberships Pro</a> (our sister plugin), may be a better option for your website.</p>

<p>Absoluto Access Gate is a flexible WordPress access-control plugin that allows you to require user login across your site while offering precise control over who can access what. It is designed for site owners who need reliable login enforcement without sacrificing usability or performance.</p>
<p>Many sites require authentication for content access but still need exceptions for specific pages, users, or integrations. Absoluto Access Gate provides a structured and predictable way to enforce login rules while supporting common real-world scenarios such as public landing pages, APIs, feeds, and temporary access needs.</p>

<h3>Configuration</h3>

<h3>Excluded Pages</h3>

<ol>
<li>
<p>When a user visits any page on your site, the plugin checks:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the user is logged in and has bypass permission (role or user)</li>
<li>If the current page is excluded</li>
<li>If the current page uses an excluded template</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>If none of the above conditions are met and the user is not logged in, they are redirected to the WordPress login page.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>After logging in, users are redirected back to the page they were trying to access.</p>
</li>
</ol>
