The most basic functionality of PayPlans is to create plans with some pricing. In this case, a general visitor comes to a site, sees the plan page, decides if he likes a plan based on its features, and next decides if he can pay the price or not. This is the simple flow that generally happens in PayPlans.
How can I improve my conversion rates?
Yes, it is entirely possible if you can arouse enough interest and vibes in your audience. To achieve it, you will need to pep up the content at your end with words and images that are authentic. Well, the internet is full of articles on the Do(s) and Dont(s) of content generation practices.
Access Control Layer scenarios, possible in PayPlans.
1. Teasing with teaser texts
If you are a content writer or have some important documentation and for the sake of interest generation in readers you want only few of the lines to be visible and the remaining text to appear only to a paid user - It is possible in PayPlans.
For this special purpose PayPlans has a Content ACL APP. Content ACL app allows you to restrict users from viewing Joomla or EasyBlog content on your site accordingly based on 2 types that is Joomla/EasyBlog Category or Joomla/Easyblog Articles. Your site visitors will need to have subscriptions first in order to view those articles or respective categories.
2. Hide contents as per Plan Subscription
Now, instead of giving a teaser treat to your users, you wish to apply complete access control on any of Joomla categories, sections or articles on the website based on subscription status of users.
3. Access Control on Downloadable Items.
If you have an online store. Say a music store and wish to earn an income by allowing download access to people at a price. well, honestly speaking PayPlans cannot allow download rights as it is not an download manager, its a subscription system.
But, PayPlans is well integrated with three of the top Joomla Download Systems.
- JDownloads
- Phoca Download
- Docman
The above are the best download managers in Joomla. They have access control in them but in a different sense which does not link with a subscription management system. PayPlans on the other hands impart its ACL power to these download managers. With the help of our integration apps PayPlans allows you to give download access of different groups of users as per their subscription plan. Whereas the normal visitors will always be asked to subscribe first before they can download anything from you. Know more about the working in the link buttons below.
JDownloads and Docman will be restrict as per joomla user group for this need to use PayPlans Joomla User Type app.
Phoca Download Integration App
4. Visibility of Menus & Modules with ACL.
Menu: In Joomla!, a Menu is a set of items used for website navigation. Each menu item defines an URL to a page on your site, and settings that control the contents(articles, categories lists, tagged items, etc.) and style of that page.
Module: They are often boxes arranged around a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login module. Modules are assigned per menu item, so you can decide to show or hide (for example) the login module depending on which page (menu item) the user is currently on.
So, at times it becomes very crucial to hide the Menus and Modules on a site as per the Subscription status (Active, On Hold, Expired). As they may contain the documentation to your product usage or a link to your support form which you want to be visible only to the subscribed users.
These scenarios are possible in PayPlans by using the Menu Access and Module Access APP.
So, these were some of the user ACL scenarios, that will surely help you gain more than the traditional ways.
