The Expandable Paywall was developed to be a go to solution for anyone looking to implement a paywall solution to their
website. The core plugin has a simple hard paywall and uses the native WordPress authentication. Additional premium add-ons
can be installed which will expand the functionality for various paywall types, authentication types, and reporting.
