mobieusGate

mobieusGate puts your community or specific areas behind a paid subscription.

How it works

  1. Admin configures subscription tiers at Admin → Gate.
  2. Non-subscribers who visit a gated area see the paywall with a Subscribe button.
  3. Clicking Subscribe opens a Stripe checkout. Access is granted on payment.

Access modes

  • Open. No paywall.
  • Write-gated. Free to read, subscription required to post.
  • Read-gated. Subscription required for both reading and posting.

Managing your subscription

Go to Account → Settings → Subscription to view or cancel.

Admin: configuring tiers

Go to Admin → Gate to create pricing tiers with price, billing interval, and paywall copy. Each tier can offer a free trial of up to 30 days; new subscribers get full access during the trial and are billed when it ends.

Subscriber notifications

When a member's subscription needs attention, Mobieus emails them and posts an in-app notification automatically. Nothing to set up:

  • Before a free trial ends. A reminder, so the first charge is never a surprise.
  • When a renewal payment fails. A notice with a link to update their card before access ends. The card retries automatically in the meantime.
  • When a failed payment recovers. A confirmation that they are all set.
  • When a subscription is canceled. A confirmation, including when access ends.
