Charge your readers a monthly fee to access your premium content and newsletters. You keep full control over what's free and what's paid, post by post.
Paid subscriptions are powered by Stripe Connect. You'll need a Stripe account (free to create) to receive payments. Stripe handles billing, invoices, and payouts directly to your bank account.
Go to Settings → Membership to connect your Stripe account.
Click Connect with Stripe — you'll be redirected to Stripe to complete a short onboarding: business details, bank account, identity verification. This is Stripe's standard process and usually takes a few minutes.
Once done, you'll be redirected back to Writizzy with your account connected.
After connecting Stripe, set:
Then toggle Enable paid subscriptions to make it live on your blog.
Once enabled, your blog shows a Subscribe button. Readers who click it go through Stripe Checkout to enter their payment details. After subscribing, they get immediate access to all your paid content and newsletters.
Readers can manage or cancel their subscription at any time via the Manage subscription link in your blog's menu — this opens the Stripe Customer Portal directly.
The Members page in your dashboard shows your subscriber breakdown and Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). Your actual payouts are managed in your Stripe dashboard where you can see transactions, issue refunds, and configure payouts.
You can disconnect your Stripe account from Settings → Membership. This will cancel all active subscriptions at the end of their current billing period — your paying readers keep access until their period ends, then lose it automatically. Think carefully before doing this.
After disconnecting, all content remains visible (Writizzy ignores the paid/free distinction when no payment provider is connected), but new subscriptions are no longer possible.
