Configuring a paywall for a content type

To enable paywalling, you need to modify an existing content type to include a paywall toggle.

tip

The following procedure describes how to apply a paywall to one of Brightspot's standard content types. You can also apply a paywall to an editorial content type. For information about creating an editorial content type, see Editorial content types.

To add a paywall to a content type:

1. Click > Admin > Content Types.

2. Under Content Type Modifications, click New.

3. From the Types list, select the content type to which you are adding a paywall.

4. Under Additional Items, do the following:

   1. Click and select Boolean Field.
   2. In the Name field, enter a field label, such as Paywalled.
   3. In the Developer > Annotations field, paste field.as(Java.type('brightspot.entitlements.zephr.ZephrContentApiCustomVariableObjectFieldModification')).setZephrCustomVariable(true).

5. Click Save.

When creating new assets based on the content type (such as new articles), editors see a Paywalled toggle in the content edit form. Toggling on Paywalled applies a paywall to the asset.
