PostGate is an open-source WordPress paywall and content monetization plugin for creators, bloggers, educators, consultants, and publishers.
It lets website owners protect an entire site, post types, categories, taxonomies, individual posts and pages, or selected Gutenberg blocks. Premium content can be sold through one-time payments, recurring subscriptions, or both options on the same paywall.
PostGate connects directly to Stripe and uses Stripe-hosted Checkout. It includes product synchronization, sandbox testing, verified webhook processing, automatic content access, subscription management through the Stripe Billing Portal, and access updates for supported cancellations and refunds.
Additional features include public content previews, login-only protection, role-based access, customizable paywall templates, customer email notifications, order management, revenue tracking, and WordPress-native Block Editor controls.
PostGate works without WooCommerce or a separate shopping cart. It is free to download and install, with a 5% platform fee applied only to successful transactions, in addition to Stripe processing fees.
