Practical guide
Collect media, research, and analytics subscriptions with account access tied to payment state.
Media and analytics payments control access to information: reports, dashboards, newsletters, data feeds, or premium archives.
Crypto can fit global readers, trading communities, Web3 audiences, and teams buying research with stablecoins.
MakePay can collect subscriptions, report purchases, dataset access, and account credits with branded links and status for access control.

Guide
Why content payments need entitlement status
A payment decides whether a reader can view the article, report, dashboard, or feed. It needs to map to an account and access period.
If staff manually match transfers, subscription support becomes too expensive.
Access is the product
Paid status should update subscription or report access.
Research can be high-value
Single reports may justify crypto invoice links.
Global readers fit
Wallet payments help audiences outside card-friendly markets.
