Everyone who meets the wall sees the same offer
A newcomer from search and a reader who comes every day meet the same trial, and changing it waits on a ticket.

The situation
What is going wrong
The person accountable for the revenue does not hold the controls, so the safe answer is to change nothing.
One trial for every reader
The reader on a first visit and the reader who comes every day see the same price and the same term, because the wall cannot tell them apart.
Every option at the moment of impatience
The wall shows every offer at once, at the point where a reader least wants to compare, and the comparison costs the sale.
A test nobody trusts
The version lives with one vendor and the payment with another, so the test is read on clicks, and finance does not accept it.
One term for every budget
The reader who would pay for a week meets the yearly price, and the wall sends them away rather than selling them a week.
What changes
When the offer, the test and the invoice read one record
EdgeKit Paywall
The offer shown is a rule
Which offer a reader sees is a rule on the reader record, written by your revenue team, tried on any reader before it ships and live in 60 seconds. The newcomer sees the trial, the daily reader the longer term, and the version before is one publish away.
- First match wins, in an order you set
- Try the rule on any reader before publishing
- Changed in the console, with no ticket and no release

EdgeKit Paywall
What a rule tells apart today
Sign-in state, what a reader holds and for how many more days, how they joined, whether this is a new device, the title and the section: a rule reads each of these on every request, so the newcomer and the daily reader get different offers without anyone computing a score. A rule reading a score, yours or one EdgeKit learns, is EdgeKit AI Paywall, coming soon.
- Anonymous, registered and paid are three readers to a rule, and days until access ends is a number it reads
- A new device and the section are read on every request
- Your own score, and EdgeKit’s propensity score, as facts a rule reads: coming soon

EdgeKit Paywall
A test read on what the reader did next
Split a meter, a wall or a whole offer. Every decision returns which version the reader saw and your page sends it to the event stream beside the reads. The purchase, the end of the trial and the renewal land on the same reader record, in a database you own, so a version is judged on who paid and who stayed, not on first clicks.
- Split by device, or per signed-in reader across devices
- The version comes back with every decision, and your tag sends it with the reads
- Trial-to-paid per version is a query your analysts write across the event table and the record; EdgeKit computes no significance figure

An offer that does not renew
For the reader who will pay for a week and not for a year, an offer can be one that does not renew: a day or a week of access with an end date, sold through the same checkout, on the record the wall reads. A reader who later subscribes is already on it. Checkout runs on your page with Recurly today.
- The introductory discount is part of the offer and billed by your provider’s own coupon; the reader types no code
- The offer the wall showed is the offer that is charged
- A pass for one article is not sold today

How it goes live
Four steps, one section first
White-glove onboarding: we set it up with you, start to finish.
- 01
Bring the offers you have, and the one you could not ship
We go line by line through what each reader sees today and who had to be asked to change it.
- 02
One tag and one CMS integration, done with you
We do the install and your developers review it. The panel your rules return is drawn by your developers in your own design, with EdgeKit’s browser SDK, and we build it with you if nobody is free.
- 03
The first rule, on one section
Which reader sees which offer, written by your revenue team and tried on any reader before it ships. EdgeKit runs beside your current wall on that section first.
- 04
Switch the section and read the result
The version each reader saw sits in your event table beside their reads, and the purchase and the renewal sit on their record. Read trial-to-paid and retention per version, then move the next section.
