How it works
From sign-up to live in minutes.
No engineering team required. We do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the journalism.
Connect your WordPress site
Install our WordPress plugin and paste two keys — your publication is wired up in minutes. No developer time, no integration sprint, no waiting on a build queue, and no bespoke code sitting on your site waiting to break the next time your theme updates.
Work through the checklist
Ten clear steps walk you through plans, access rules, branding and emails, with a live summary updating at every stage. Preview the reader experience, tweak the copy and colours, and know exactly what your paywall will look like before a single subscriber sees it.
Go live and start earning
Hit Go Live and Mocono takes over — paywalling, access rules, signup flows, email capture and subscriber dashboards all run on your site. Stripe sits underneath as the secure payment rail while Mocono handles conversion, billing automation and ongoing subscriber management.
Guided setup
Never wonder what to do next.
A ten-step checklist walks you from sign-up to launch, and every integration you need comes pre-wired with copy-paste keys and a one-click connection test. No blank screens, no guesswork, no half-finished setups.
A checklist that finishes itself
Every publisher gets the same ten-step path — configure plans, set access rules, brand the paywall, wire up emails, then hit Go Live. Progress is saved as you go and mirrored in a live summary.
Integrations, done for you
WordPress and Stripe are the only two connections you need — and both are guided, copy-pasteable and testable in a click. Plug into Zapier when you're ready to automate the rest.
The reader experience
Plans shaped exactly how you sell.
Every plan, price point and bundle is yours to configure. Digital-only, print + digital, events-included, donor tiers, corporate seats — whatever your model looks like, Mocono renders it in your own brand so it feels native to your title.
Need to grant something off-platform — an event ticket, a printed copy, a mailing-list segment? Trigger it from any plan via our Zapier integration using that plan's Mocono Plan ID. Full flexibility, no custom build.
One plan or ten — your call
Run a single membership or stack multiple tiers side-by-side. Highlight a recommended option, add a free-trial badge, and price each plan to fit your audience.
Individual, group or both
Sell to individuals, offer seat-based group subscriptions for teams and corporates, or combine the two. Monthly and annual pricing with savings surfaced automatically.
Frictionless checkout
A branded, Stripe-powered checkout with discount codes, saved cards and a clear subscription summary.
Customisation
Make the paywall unmistakably yours.
Upload your logo, set brand colours and typography, write your subscription message, and choose how the paywall appears to readers — a modal overlay or a full-screen takeover. Add your terms and privacy links and you're compliant from day one.
- Logo, colours and paywall message in your brand
- Modal popup or full-screen takeover — your call
- Terms & privacy URLs wired into every subscription flow
Subscriber CRM
Every subscriber, in one place.
Search, filter and manage your entire member base from a single view — then drill into any subscriber to adjust their plan, pricing, billing and payment details without ever leaving Mocono.
A living list of every paid member
Filter by date, status, plan or billing frequency, search by name or email, customise your columns and export to CSV in a click.
Full control over each account
Change plans, adjust seats and pricing, update payment methods on a subscriber's behalf, send a password reset or cancel a membership — all from one secure profile.
Access rules
From hard paywall to fully open — your call.
Lock the whole site, gate specific categories, run a free-article meter, or keep everything open and use Mocono purely for signups, payments and CRM. A live summary panel mirrors every rule in plain English.
- Protect content by category, tag or individual article
- Reward email signups with as many bonus articles as you choose
- Switch off restrictions entirely for print-led or donation-funded titles
Subscriber communications
Beautiful emails, sent for you.
Send welcome, renewal, payment-failure and dunning emails from day one using our verified delivery — or plug in your own SMTP to send from your own domain. Every template is fully editable and personalised to each reader.
- Professionally written defaults — accept them and go
- Send from your own domain via custom SMTP when you're ready
- Personalise each template with reader and subscription details
Promotions
Coupons that convert.
Spin up promotional codes for launches, partnerships and win-back campaigns. Cap them by usage or by date, toggle them on and off in a click, and track redemptions without leaving the dashboard.
- Percentage discounts with usage limits or expiry windows
- Activate, pause or retire codes instantly
- See redemptions, status and remaining uses at a glance
