Leaky Paywall – Trials

Create a trial for any recurring level

The Trials extension for Leaky Paywall allows publishers to offer free or paid trials for any recurring subscription level, giving potential subscribers a chance to explore your content before committing. You can enable trials on a per-level basis and customize them by setting a free trial duration or offering a discount on the first payment.

Subscribers provide payment details during registration, but they aren’t charged until the trial ends. They can cancel anytime before the trial period ends to avoid charges. Publishers can easily track all trial subscribers and their billing start dates, making it simple to manage trial conversions and optimize subscription strategies.
