Basic Requirements for WordPress Paid Content Reading
To achieve content visibility after payment on a website, the following basic conditions must be met:

WordPress Paid Content Reading Setup Tutorial
First, once you have your WordPress website and have purchased the paid reading plugin, we can proceed with the paid reading setup. The payment gateway can be applied for during the plugin configuration.
1. Upload the payment plugin to the website for plugin installation. 
2. Enter the plugin settings. First, you need to enter the activation code to activate it. After activation, you can configure the prompts and colors for paid reading. 
3. Set up the payment gateway. 
4. Enable user registration on the website.Because without registration, there's no way to record which paid articles a user has purchased, so the website needs to have its registration feature open.
5. When publishing an article, use code to hide the paid content.This paid plugin uses shortcodes to hide content. We just need to wrap the content that requires payment to view with shortcodes when publishing the article.
If you want the entire article or the latter half to be paid reading, then simply insert the paid reading button and write the paid content after it.
6. Set the price for paid reading.For the Classic Editor, the default price setting is in the top-right corner. Naiba hasn't tested it in the Gutenberg Editor, but it should also be on the right side; you can look carefully.
Then publish the article, and it will be visible on the website frontend. Visitors can view the paid content after scanning the QR code to pay.
