Setting up a free trial before introducing a paywall is easy to implement. This gives users a sample of the experience before requiring payment for further access.

First, set up pay-as-you-go pricing or a membership. Link a payment account through Stripe and establish your usage-based and/or membership monetization strategy.

Once implemented, select Edit within Usage Limits in the Monetization tab.

Scroll down to Free Allowance to set custom limits. There are three options for each communication medium: disabled, metered, and unlimited. Disabled prevents the medium of communication from being available for free. Metered caps free usage and Unlimited allows for communication without introducing a paywall.
