Step-by-Step Guide to Paywalling a Program

1. Set Up Payment Options:

   • If necessary, create a new payment option by selecting Create a New Payment.

2. Access Your Programs:

   • Identify and select the program you wish to paywall, such as a "Mindset Certification" program.

3. Configure Paywall Settings:

   • Open the specific program details.

   • Click on Share to access the sharing and paywall settings.

   • Toggle the Paywall Settings on to activate the paywall for this program.

4. Link Payment to the Program:

   • Within the paywall settings, choose the product or payment option that will unlock the program for athletes.

   • This step links the selected payment to the program, requiring athletes to purchase before gaining access.

5. Save and Update:

   • After setting the paywall and linking the appropriate payment, click Save to apply these changes.

   • Ensure that these settings are correctly implemented to secure your content effectively.

6. Add Program to Athlete Portal:

   • To make the paywalled program available, add it to your athlete portal where athletes can view and purchase access.

   • Updating your athlete portal ensures that the new paywall settings are live and functional for your users.

Best Practices for Paywalling Programs

• Clear Communication: Make sure athletes are aware of the paywall. Clearly state what content is behind the paywall and the benefits of purchasing access.

• Value Proposition: Ensure the content behind the paywall offers significant value. Premium content should justify the cost and encourage purchases.

• Monitor Engagement: Keep track of how your paywalled programs perform. Analyze user engagement and purchase rates to adjust your strategy and pricing if necessary.
