Step 3: Creating paid and paid repost publications

AtContent plugin tweaks the publication process and adds the opportunity to charge your readers for reading or reposting your posts.  Look at the AtContent  Post Settings Panel at the bottom of the usual post editor:

• Process post through AtContent API – if this option is turned off you will disable AtContent plugin for this post.
• Protect post from plagiarism – disable usual browser tools to copy and paste text, e.g. Ctrl+C and context menu.
• Post type – Free/Donate/Paid/Paid Repost.
• Import post comments into AtContent – import WordPress comments to AtContent for interaction with reposters and their readers.

If you select “Paid” type of publication, the second text field will appear on the post creation screen. The upper field if for the free part of your post. Here you should add a brief description that attracts readers to buy the full version. The lower text field is for the paid part, which cannot be seen unless a reader pays the needed amount of money.
