The title pretty much sums up this feature request nicely! **Instead of paying for a recurring subscription, people should be able to pay to access an individual article(s).** A list of individual articles that have been purchased could be listed in the members’ account. This could even potentially be used as a simplified shop, allowing people to pay for downloads or other digital products! _Other ‘ideas’ have been suggested that are similar to this one but with more specific requirements. I have tried simplifying the general idea to give wider user case scenarios and simplify the technical requirements!_ Thank you. Ian ---

I hope this is integrated within the portal and not as a separate field. Users should have the opportunity to buy single articles, read top three articles, or subscribe to one of the paid tiers…something along those lines. ---

That’d be an amazing feature, helping content creators to monetize more their publication. ---

Hi @IanAlderman @visualdynamics @ROY @upmynt – We actually built this feature for Ghost creators and have many folks using it successfully! Our integration, [Acta](https://readwithacta.com/), allows any creators to unlock individual content sales, set at the price you want. Feel free to check out our [demo page](https://www.guillermoolaizola.com/paywall/) for the full experience, or some other live examples too: - [Example 1](https://www.rascal.news/eldritch-cult-elder-mythos-michele-paroli-interview-lovecraft-ttrpg/) - [Example 2](https://www.dndreinkarnated.com/uprising-in-cachot-keep/) Feel free to reach out to [contact@readwithacta.com](mailto:contact@readwithacta.com) if you want to chat about it.

This is very interesting. What is the cost to integrate Acta? I didn’t see any pricing information on the website. ---

This would be especially helpful for me. You could think of it as pay-as-you-go, basically just an addition to the subscription options. The use case: I write long-form articles explaining complex topics. The topics covered are hard to find much good information on, so users are willing to pay. BUT… If my output is ~1 article per month, then I think the consumer would be much happier with this option.
