Paywall Rules Editor

URL Pattern Recognition

Tame even the most complex website architectures with precision targeting.

Pigeon's innovative URL Pattern Recognition gives you surgical control over content access, regardless of your site's URL structure complexity. This powerful feature interprets URL strings intelligently, allowing you to designate content as premium, metered, or free based on specific URL patterns.

Define global paywall rules for entire sections of your site with simple pattern expressions, then create targeted exceptions for strategic content visibility. Whether you're working with straightforward paths or intricate URL structures, our pattern recognition technology allows you to effortlessly categorizes your content according to your monetization strategy.

CMS Category & Tag Targeting

Leverage your existing content organization for seamless paywall control.

Pigeon seamlessly integrates with your content management workflow by allowing you to designate access levels through your familiar CMS categories and tags. This intuitive approach eliminates the need to manage complex URL structures when your content is already well-organized.

Simply designate which categories warrant premium status, which should operate under metered access, and which remain freely accessible. Apply specialized tags to create exceptions or to mark individual pieces of content for specific treatment—regardless of their parent category.

Your team continues working with familiar taxonomy systems while Pigeon intelligently interprets these designations to enforce your paywall strategy consistently across your publication. Perfect for content teams who prefer to manage access rights within their established workflow rather than through URL pattern rules.

This powerful interface empowers your development team to implement highly customized overrides that align perfectly with your unique business rules and content strategy.
