Wordpress Plugins WPMU DEV 4.8 (3.7K reviews)
Pay Per View is a WordPress plugin from the WPMU DEV team that changes how you sell access to the things you publish. Instead of relying on a simple donate button or hiding everything behind a membership system, this plugin gives you a set of payment models that fit different kinds of content. You can charge a one-time fee for a single post or page, set up a pay period that grants access for a set amount of time, or run a full subscription that recurs automatically. That flexibility matters because not all digital content behaves the same way. A tutorial library might suit a subscription, while a single premium article works better as a one-off purchase. The plugin puts both options in your hands without forcing you into one structure. It is built and maintained by WPMU (now WPMU DEV), a team known for long-running WordPress products.
The core of the plugin is the paywall. You decide which content is restricted and what visitors see before paying. Once a post is protected, a visitor will encounter a payment prompt instead of the full text or media. Visitors who haven't paid see only the teaser you choose, so you control exactly how much of the piece is visible. The prompt can be tailored to describe what they're buying, and the chosen payment option — one-time, timed access, or subscription — determines how that content unlocks. Access is then controlled by the plugin based on the transaction type. A one-time buyer gets permanent access to the item; a pay-period purchase expires automatically; a subscriber retains access as long as their subscription remains active. This removes the need to manually grant or revoke permissions, since the plugin handles the lifecycle of every sale. For the site owner, the workflow is straightforward: write content, mark it as paid, pick the pricing model for that item, and publish.

Payment handling is covered through built-in PayPal integration. Buyers complete their purchase through PayPal, and the plugin confirms the payment before unlocking the content. That keeps the setup simple for site owners, because there's no separate payment gateway configuration or third-party service to wire up. PayPal is the payment method included with the plugin, so buyers check out in a familiar system while the plugin tracks whether the transaction succeeded. The subscription option carries the recurring billing logic, so payments renew according to the schedule you define without any manual intervention. This is particularly useful for content that accumulates over time, like a growing archive of lessons, videos, or written pieces. The per-post approach, meanwhile, suits individual items with clear standalone value. Combined, the available payment models let you experiment with how you monetize: you could sell a single guide, offer a week of access to everything, or run an ongoing membership — all from the same plugin.
The plugin comes as a standard WordPress plugin package that you install like any other, by uploading the zip file through the WordPress admin and activating it. Once active, the settings are found in the WordPress dashboard, where you configure your PayPal credentials and choose how the paywall behaves across your site. The version distributed here is the same .zip file you would get from the original developer, with no alterations. That means you're working with the genuine WPMU DEV code rather than a rewritten or stripped-down variant. Anyone running a WordPress site with content worth selling — blog posts, tutorials, digital documents, media pages — can put the paywall to use, and the different payment structures mean you are not locked into one monetization strategy. What you see is a focused tool that does one thing and does it cleanly. It is a single-purpose extension, not a sprawling suite, so configuration stays manageable.
