With the new feature in MagLoft's Universal App, publishers can now lock articles behind a subscription, offering exclusive content to subscribers and enhancing revenue opportunities. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up this feature and explain how it appears to readers.

Steps to Lock Articles from the UA Admin Side

  1. Access the UA Admin:

    • Log in to your MagLoft Universal App admin panel.

  2. Navigate to the Articles Section:

    • Click on the "Articles" tab to view your list of published articles.

  3. Select the Articles to Lock:

    • Choose the specific articles you want to lock behind a subscription.

  4. Set the Subscription Requirement:

    • From the drop-down menu, select "Subscribe" to lock the chosen articles behind a subscription. Don't forget to save your changes.

How It Appears to Readers

  • Subscription Overlay:

    • When a reader opens an article that is locked behind a subscription, they will see an overlay displaying a list of available subscription plans.

  • Choosing a Subscription Plan:

    • Readers can select a subscription plan from the list provided.

  • Unlocking Content:

    • Once the purchase is made, the article will be unlocked, granting the reader access.

Important Note

  • Access to All Content:

    • When a reader subscribes, they will unlock all content tied to the chosen subscription plan, not just the single article.

By utilizing this feature, you can effectively manage access to your premium content, encouraging readers to subscribe and enjoy a broader range of your offerings.
