Wix Apps: Connecting a Pricing Plan to a File Share Folder

4 min read
With Wix File Share, you can restrict access to certain folders by placing your files behind a paywall. This means that only the people that have purchased the plan can access the folder and its contents. Adding a paywall can enhance engagement and boost your monetization efforts.

You can connect pricing plans from your Pricing Plans dashboard, your live site, or from your site's editor.
Important:
  • Before you connect a pricing plan to a folder, you need to install the Wix Pricing Plans app and create a plan. Learn how to create a plan
  • When you connect a folder to a pricing plan, the folder is automatically set to private so only plan subscribers can access it.
