## Admin: mobieusGate
+
mobieusGate is configured from **Admin → Gate**.
−
mobieusGate is your paywall. Configure it from **Admin → Gate**.
−
−
### Turning it on
−
−
mobieusGate is a standalone feature, off by default. Enable it at **Admin → Config → Features** before the Gate panel takes effect.
### Subscription tiers
Create pricing tiers with a name, description, price, billing interval (monthly, yearly, one-time), and optional trial period.
### Access surfaces
+
Set each surface to Open, Write-gated, or Read-gated.
−
Set each surface to Open, Write-gated, or Read-gated. You can also set a **minimum plan** on any surface, the whole site or an individual forum. With more than one paid tier, that lets higher tiers reach more: a surface set to your top tier stays hidden from lower tiers, who see a clear upgrade prompt instead of a dead end. Leave it unset and any paying subscriber gets in.
### Stripe setup
+
Gate uses your Stripe account from **Admin → Config → Payments**. Each tier maps to a Stripe product/price.
−
Gate uses your Stripe account from **Admin → Config → Commerce**. Each tier maps to a Stripe product and price. To collect sales tax or VAT, turn on **automatic tax** in **Admin → Config → Commerce**, then add the regions where you are registered. Every checkout then works out the correct rate from the buyer's location. It stays off until you enable it.
### Paywall message
Customize the paywall text and call-to-action from **Admin → Gate → Paywall**.

### Switching plans
−
−
Members can change their plan from their billing page. When they switch, the charge is prorated: an upgrade costs only the difference for the rest of the billing period, and a downgrade credits the unused time. Access updates to the new tier right away, so you never have to cancel and re-subscribe anyone by hand.
−
−
### Subscription analytics
−
−
Your subscription dashboard now shows the revenue metrics that matter, not just a single point-in-time count:
−
−
- **MRR with a 12-month trend.** See whether monthly recurring revenue is growing or shrinking.
−
- **Churn rate.** The share of subscribers who cancel.
−
- **Trial-to-paid conversion.** How many free trials become paying subscriptions.
−
- **ARPU and LTV.** Average revenue per subscriber and estimated lifetime value.
−
−
Course subscriptions have their own version under Admin, Courses, Subscriptions; the membership dashboard shows the same for paid community access.
−
