Add pricing to a post or workspace offer
Turn an availability post or deliverable into a clear paid offer so people understand what they unlock when they pay.
The point of pricing is clarity: what is free, what is paid, and what the buyer gets after purchase.
What this walkthrough covers
What this feature does
Pricing tells the viewer that your post is not only a signal of availability. It is also an offer with a defined unlock.
Why people use it
Without explicit pricing, a visitor may understand that you are available but still not know:
- whether they are supposed to pay,
- what payment unlocks,
- whether the next step is immediate.
This walkthrough is about removing that ambiguity.
Step-by-step
How the flow works
Step 1
Open the post or offer you want to monetize
Goal: Start from the exact piece of content that should become paid.
Why it matters: Pricing is more credible when it is attached directly to the offer instead of pushed into a disconnected checkout flow.
Route: /posts/{postId}
This step shows the unpriced version of the offer before the monetization switch is turned on.
Step 2
Choose the pricing mode and amount
Goal: Attach a clear price to the offer.
Why it matters: Buyers need one concrete number and one concrete unlock, not a vague promise hidden in the body text.
Route: /posts/{postId}
The walkthrough captures the exact state change where the same offer becomes a paid one.
Step 3
Verify the resulting paid presentation
Goal: Confirm that the post now reads like a real offer.
Why it matters: If the result does not look understandable to a first-time visitor, the pricing configuration is not finished yet.
Route: /posts/{postId}
This final step captures the post in its monetized form so the buyer-facing result is explicit.
Common questions
What people usually ask
Should I price the profile workspace itself or a separate post?
Use whichever structure matches the offer. The main rule is that the price should be attached where the buyer is already evaluating the value.
What if I am not sure about the amount yet?
Start with a simple, easy-to-understand price and adjust later after you see how people respond.
