  2. Click on the Advanced link.
  3. Scroll down to the Paywall section and click on the Enable Paywall button.

  5. Enter your Presspad Site ID in the field provided. Your Presspad Site ID can be found in your Presspad account settings.

You can also choose to display a preview of your content before the paywall kicks in, or you can choose to display a message to visitors who are not logged in. If you enable the preview option, you can specify how many paragraphs of your content will be displayed before the paywall kicks in.

You can also add a custom message that will be displayed before the paywall kicks in. This message will be displayed to visitors who are not logged in. Once you have finished configuring your paywall settings, click on the Save button.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a paywall to your Squarespace website may result in decreased traffic and revenue. Use caution when considering this option.

That’s it! You have successfully added a paywall to your Squarespace site.

Your visitors will now be required to log in or sign up for a subscription in order to view your content.

Adding a paywall is a great way to monetize your content and increase revenue. It is also a great way to get people to sign up for your newsletter or mailing list.

If you are planning on charging for access to your content, I recommend using a service like Presspad. Presspad is easy to use and has great features that allow you to control how much content is displayed before the paywall kicks in.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, yes – it is possible to add a paywall onto Squarespace by utilizing third-party services such as Presspad.
