Basic Paygate

The Basic Paygate experience is best when you want a simple integration where Supertab manages access for you
Basic Paygates display your site’s timepass and subscription offerings to customers. The experience will launch automatically on page load and block access to your content until the customer makes a purchase or logs in to use an existing entitlement. The Basic Paygate is simple, yet adaptable:
  • The layout will react to the number of Offerings you select
  • A second screen can be added for more customization
  • Upsells give you an option to encourage customers to choose other (e.g. longer) offerings. If we detect savings for the user, we will show a calculated discount.
  • To align with your brand, colors can be customized and the logo will be displayed at the top of the Paygate (if you added it to the Site)
  • Parts of the Paygate text can be edited in all languages we support.

​

Choose Offerings

In the Offerings section, you can choose 1 to 3 Offerings for the main screen. If you enable the “More options” screen, you will get three more Offering slots.Use the Offering dropdowns to select what to sell and determine the order of Offerings. The preview is interactive and will show changes as you go.You cannot use the same Offering on a screen twice.For each Offering, you can choose an upsell. We will calculate the difference between prices and if we detect a discount, it will be displayed on the Paygate. Upsells are only displayed when customer clicks on the associated Offering.If we detect no discount, the Paygate will adapt to not show the savings badge.There are no restrictions for upsells other than the Offering and the associated upsell cannot be the same (e.g. all your time passes can upsell to the same subscription)If you choose two or three Offerings on one screen, you will have an option to select which one of them should be highlighted by default to grab the attention of customers.
