With the latest update to MagLoft Classic, publishers now have the flexibility to sell content outside of traditional subscriptions. This new feature lets you decide whether single-issue purchases are included in a subscription or require separate purchases.

Setting Up Single Issue Purchases

  1. Access Your Publisher Dashboard:

    • Log in to your MagLoft Classic account.

  2. Navigate to the Content Section:

    • Click on the "Issues" tab to view your list of issues.

  3. Select the Issue You Want to Configure:

    • Choose the specific issue you want to set as a single-issue purchase.

  4. Configure Purchase Options:

    • In the issue settings, you will find an option labeled "Unlock Type."

    • Set the unlock type to Paid. Your changes will be saved automatically.

  5. Configure In-App Products in App Stores

    • Add your issue as an in-app product in Google and Apple stores by following this help article.

Setting Up Subscription Options

  1. Navigate to Sales Tab:

    • Open the App Subscriptions option under the Sales Tab to access your subscription plans.

  2. Edit Your Subscription:

    • Select an existing subscription plan or create a new one.

  3. Change the Unlock Type Option:

    • Navigate to the Unlock Type option and select Unlock Subscribe Issue. This ensures that subscribers will only unlock issues set to unlock with a subscription. Issues set to Paid will require separate purchases.

Important Considerations

  • Subscription Access: If you choose to exclude a single issue from the subscription, subscribers will need to purchase it separately, even if they have access to other issues.

  • Content Access: Issues made available via subscriptions will remain in readers' accounts even if the unlock type is later changed to Paid after a reader has unlocked it.
