Reward Users.<\/h4>\n\n<p>Qixit\u2019s 2WayMicropay plugin turns WordPress links, posts, pages, comments, images, videos, audio, downloads, and other digital content into purchase or payout opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Instead of relying only on advertising, subscriptions, or high-priced products, publishers can offer visitors an \u00e0-la-carte payment option priced in Qix Credits \u2014 including prices as low as one cent.<\/p>\n\n<p>Unlike conventional payment and paywall systems, value can flow in both directions:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Visitors can pay to unlock content, play media, publish posts, or submit comments.<\/li>\n<li>Publishers can give visitors free trial credits or reward them for viewing ads, following links, or completing other actions.<\/li>\n<li>Publishers and creators can share revenue and referral commissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Qixit is the company and account platform. 2WayMicropay is Qixit\u2019s two-way micropayment product.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Before You Use the Plugin<\/h4>\n\n<p>To activate 2WayMicropay on a WordPress website, the site owner must:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Create a free Qixit account at <a href=\"https:\/\/qixit.com\/create-an-account\/\">qixit.com\/create-an-account<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Obtain Qixit Vendor Credentials at <a href=\"https:\/\/register.qixit.com\/register\">register.qixit.com\/register<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Vendor credentialing currently costs $10.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your Vendor Credentials allow you to:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Create purchase links<\/li>\n<li>Create payout links<\/li>\n<li>Create and manage products<\/li>\n<li>Receive payments and credits<\/li>\n<li>Access vendor tools and reports<\/li>\n<li>Obtain the API code required to automate the creation and management of 2WayMicropay hyperlinks on your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>What You Can Do<\/h4>\n\n<p>The plugin supports multiple ways to monetize and promote your WordPress site:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Premium posts and pages<\/strong> \u2014 Charge for articles, tutorials, reports, downloads, images, videos, audio, and other content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free preview with paid continuation<\/strong> \u2014 Show an introduction and charge visitors to continue reading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay once, view forever<\/strong> \u2014 Let a buyer purchase permanent access to selected content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay per view<\/strong> \u2014 Require a new payment for each access or use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time-limited access<\/strong> \u2014 Sell access that expires after a specified number of hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Session-only access<\/strong> \u2014 Allow access during the current visit or session.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay-per-play media<\/strong> \u2014 Charge users to play a video, song, podcast, game, speech, or other embedded experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid comments<\/strong> \u2014 Require a small payment before a visitor can submit a comment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid author and contributor access<\/strong> \u2014 Charge users for author rights, contributor privileges, or publication of an article.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creator revenue sharing<\/strong> \u2014 Allocate a percentage of eligible revenue to the author or content creator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Referral commissions<\/strong> \u2014 Reward users and partners who refer purchasers or new users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payout links<\/strong> \u2014 Give credits to visitors for viewing an ad, following a link, completing a survey, or taking another desired action.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free trial credits<\/strong> \u2014 Give users site credits they can spend on your own content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Convert Existing Content Quickly<\/h4>\n\n<p>You do not need to edit every post or page one at a time.<\/p>\n\n<p>2WayMicropay makes it easy to selectively update:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A single post or page<\/li>\n<li>A chosen group of posts or pages<\/li>\n<li>All selected content within a category or search result<\/li>\n<li>Large groups of existing posts or pages through WordPress bulk actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>From the WordPress Posts or Pages screen, site owners can select multiple items and apply 2WayMicropay settings in one operation.<\/p>\n\n<p>For example, you can:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Convert selected posts to permanent paid access<\/li>\n<li>Convert selected posts to pay-per-view access<\/li>\n<li>Return selected content to free access<\/li>\n<li>Synchronize selected products with the Qixit API<\/li>\n<li>Apply premium settings only to archived, high-value, or specialty content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This allows a publisher to begin with a small test group, expand gradually, or convert a large content archive without opening and editing each item individually.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Monetize More Than Content<\/h4>\n\n<p>2WayMicropay can create revenue from interactions that are normally free.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can charge users to:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Download a report, file, image, or ebook<\/li>\n<li>Watch a video or listen to audio<\/li>\n<li>Play a game or access an interactive feature<\/li>\n<li>Read the premium portion of an article<\/li>\n<li>Obtain author or contributor privileges<\/li>\n<li>Publish a post on your site<\/li>\n<li>Submit a comment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Paid comments can also <strong>block automated spam<\/strong> and low-effort submissions. Site owners remain responsible for their own editorial, moderation, and refund policies.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Motivate Your Audience and Your Content Creators<\/h4>\n\n<p>Purchase links collect credits from users. Payout links move credits in the other direction.<\/p>\n\n<p>Use payout links and promotional credits to:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Give visitors free trial credits<\/li>\n<li>Pay users to view an advertisement<\/li>\n<li>Reward completion of a survey or promotional action<\/li>\n<li>Encourage visitors to visit a sponsor\u2019s page<\/li>\n<li>Reward referrals or participation<\/li>\n<li>Introduce new users to paid content without requiring them to fund an account first<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Payout links can include budgets, expiration dates, and other conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, you can automatically <strong>share a percentage of your revenue with contributing authors, content creators, and those who refer their followers to your content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Built for Flexible Pricing<\/h4>\n\n<p>Different content calls for different pricing and access rules. The plugin lets you experiment with:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Free access<\/li>\n<li>Pay once, view forever<\/li>\n<li>Pay per view<\/li>\n<li>Limited-hour access<\/li>\n<li>Session-only access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Prices may range from very small micropay amounts, down to a single penny, up to several dollars in Qix Credits.<\/p>\n\n<p>This makes it possible to monetize low-value, high-volume content that may be difficult to sell through conventional credit-card transactions.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Simple Purchase Flow<\/h4>\n\n<p>When a visitor selects premium content:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>The price is displayed.<\/li>\n<li>The visitor signs in or creates a free Qixit account.<\/li>\n<li>The visitor confirms the purchase.<\/li>\n<li>Access is delivered after successful payment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The publisher does not need to build a separate checkout or subscription system.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Manage Products and Transactions<\/h4>\n\n<p>The plugin connects WordPress to the Qixit 2WayMicropay Products API.<\/p>\n\n<p>Depending on the feature being used, publishers can:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Create and synchronize products from WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Create purchase and payout links<\/li>\n<li>Manage products through Qixit\u2019s vendor tools<\/li>\n<li>Review product and sales activity<\/li>\n<li>Configure payout budgets and expiration dates<\/li>\n<li>Map WordPress authors to Qixit accounts<\/li>\n<li>Set default and post-specific revenue shares<\/li>\n<li>Review transactions and account activity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Designed for Publishers and Creators<\/h4>\n\n<p>Qixit\u2019s 2WayMicropay can be used by:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>News and magazine publishers<\/li>\n<li>Independent writers and bloggers<\/li>\n<li>Musicians, podcasters, and video creators<\/li>\n<li>Course and tutorial publishers<\/li>\n<li>Game developers<\/li>\n<li>Photographers and artists<\/li>\n<li>Membership and community sites<\/li>\n<li>Multi-author publications<\/li>\n<li>Advertisers and sponsors<\/li>\n<li>Sites that want to reward engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Whether you publish one premium download or operate a large content archive, the plugin gives you a flexible way to test prices and create new revenue streams.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why Two-Way Micropayments?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Traditional payment systems move value primarily from the customer to the seller.<\/p>\n\n<p>Qixit\u2019s 2WayMicropay platform also allows publishers, advertisers, and sponsors to send credits to users.<\/p>\n\n<p>Visitors may receive free promotional credits and then use those credits to sample premium content. This reduces the barrier to trying micropayments and helps publishers introduce paid content gradually.<\/p>\n\n<p>The system is designed to support both spending and earning at true micropay rates. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}<\/p>\n\n<h4>WordPress Demonstrates the Broader Platform<\/h4>\n\n<p>The WordPress plugin demonstrates how easily Qixit\u2019s 2WayMicropay platform can be added to a website.<\/p>\n\n<p>Custom websites and applications can also use the developer API to automate:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Product creation<\/li>\n<li>Purchase links<\/li>\n<li>Payout links<\/li>\n<li>Access rules<\/li>\n<li>Revenue sharing<\/li>\n<li>Other payment and reward workflows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Important Information About Qix Credits<\/h4>\n\n<p>Qix Credits are platform credits and are not cash or legal tender.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dollar-and-cent values may be used for display convenience. Redemption and withdrawal eligibility are governed by Qixit\u2019s applicable agreements, policies, credentialing requirements, and account rules.<\/p>\n\n<p>Use of the plugin and related services is subject to the Qixit and 2WayMicropay terms, privacy policies, software license, and service agreements.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/qixit.com\/create-an-account\/\">Create a free Qixit account<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/register.qixit.com\/register\">Obtain Qixit Vendor Credentials<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2waymicropay.com\/wp\/download-the-2waymicropay-wordpress-plugin\/\">Plugin instructions and setup guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2waymicropay.com\/wp\/benefits-for-content-creators\/\">Benefits for content creators and publishers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2waymicropay.com\/wp\/demo-with-wordpress-plugin\/\">2WayMicropay demonstrations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to Qixit-hosted services to create\/sync products, verify purchases, and render purchase\/payment flows.<\/p>\n\n<p>Service endpoints used by this plugin may include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Products API base URL configured in plugin settings (default Qixit endpoints)<\/li>\n<li><code>https:\/\/products.qixit.com<\/code> for frontend purchase\/payment user flows<\/li>\n<li><code>https:\/\/products.qixit.com\/sdk\/qixit.js<\/code> for purchase\/embed runtime behavior<\/li>\n<li>Branding manifest endpoint (<code>\/api\/branding\/config<\/code>) when branding assets are loaded<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Data sent to Qixit services may include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Site API key (<code>X-API-Key<\/code>) configured by the site owner<\/li>\n<li>App identifier (<code>X-App-ID<\/code>) used for integration attribution (non-secret)<\/li>\n<li>Product and payout identifiers (GUIDs)<\/li>\n<li>Callback and delivery URLs for products<\/li>\n<li>Transaction IDs for purchase verification (<code>GET \/api\/Purchase\/verify\/{transactionId}<\/code>)<\/li>\n<li>Qixit buyer username for ownership checks and paid-comment verification<\/li>\n<li>Server-to-server ReportUrl callbacks authenticated with HMAC (<code>X-Qixit-Signature<\/code>) using the site API key<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>ReportUrl callbacks from Products Portal cannot use WordPress nonces; they are authenticated with HMAC signatures and verified against Products Portal before any purchase is recorded locally.<\/p>\n\n<p>Browser return URLs from hosted Qixit checkout also cannot carry wp-admin nonces. Those callbacks use one-time <code>qixit_cb<\/code> transients (issued when checkout starts) plus server-side transaction verification against Products Portal before any local purchase, role change, or account action is applied.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Author account creation (optional paid service)<\/h3>\n\n<p>Author Commerce and paid author signup are <strong>disabled by default<\/strong>. A site owner must explicitly enable Author Commerce in plugin settings, configure fees and terms, and place the <code>[qixit_become_an_author]<\/code> shortcode (or equivalent onboarding flow) before any public account creation can occur.<\/p>\n\n<p>When enabled, visitors can pay for author rights through Qixit checkout. After a verified payment callback, the plugin may call <code>wp_insert_user()<\/code> once to create the WordPress account requested in the signup form. This is not a generic public registration endpoint:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The feature is opt-in only (<code>qixit_enable_author_commerce<\/code> defaults to off).<\/li>\n<li>Signup starts with a nonce-protected AJAX\/form request and stores a short-lived signup transient until checkout completes.<\/li>\n<li>Checkout requires a matching one-time callback token and a verified Products Portal transaction ID before any account is created or role is assigned.<\/li>\n<li>Existing WordPress usernames are rejected; existing users must log in and purchase author rights while authenticated.<\/li>\n<li>Role assignment (Contributor when moderation is enabled, otherwise Author) follows the site owner's Author Commerce settings.<\/li>\n<li>Site owners receive admin notices for signup events (including duplicate-email reconciliation) and can disable Author Commerce, change fees, or remove\/block users at any time from wp-admin.<\/li>\n<li>The plugin does not call <code>wp_signon()<\/code> or <code>wp_set_auth_cookie()<\/code>;
