Show every reader their next step
Most of your readers never see the right pitch at the right moment.
New visitors get the same subscribe box as lapsed subscribers. A subscriber whose card failed doesn’t find out until they’re locked out. Someone who canceled last week sees nothing at all.
A subscriber whose card failed often doesn’t notice until they’re locked out. Someone who canceled last week sees nothing at all. New visitors get the same subscribe box as lapsed subscribers.
Reader Bar fixes that. It’s a slim bar along the top or bottom of your site that changes with each reader:
Save the ones slipping away
– Subscribers whose card failed are asked to update it on every page until it’s fixed.
– Subscribers who canceled see the date their access ends. On Stripe, with the Recurring Payments extension, they can keep their subscription in one click.
– Former subscribers are welcomed back and invited to restart, even when they come back logged out.
Keep your paying readers happy
– Paying subscribers are greeted by name and shown what else you offer, like gift subscriptions, instead of a pitch for what they already have.
Win new readers
– New visitors are invited to subscribe.
– Free readers are invited to upgrade, with a message you can set for each level.

You can change every message, link and button, and turn any reader type off. The settings page shows views, clicks, and conversions for each one, so you can see what’s working.
It plays nice with your site
Reader Bar works with full-page caching.
It also steps aside when your paywall, List Builder popup, or Conditional Display Notice is showing. Your readers never see two messages at once.
