Publisher Pilot Program
Test micropayments for content, comments, media, and participation — without asking users to add funds first.
Most online content is worth more than zero, but less than a subscription.
2WayMicropay gives publishers a way to test small paid unlocks for individual articles, videos, downloads, guides, comments, archives, games, and other digital features.
To demonstrate what our platform offers, we built a WordPress plugin. But 2WayMicropay is not limited to WordPress. Our platform can also support custom websites through API integration.
Start Here: Try the Demo Risk-Free
1. Create a free Qixit account
Create your account here: https://qixit.com/create-an-account/
You do not need to add funds to try the demo.
2. Claim free demo site credits
After creating your account, click this link $1 in Free Demo Site Credits and you will simultaneously be
(1) redirected to our our WordPress Paid Comments and Author Rights Demo site, and
(2) if you haven’t yet logged in, asked to log into your Qixit account through which you will immediately be credited $1 in site credits.
While you are there, you might try posting a comment for 20 cents on one of our demo pages.
3. Try the purchase and payout demos
Check out our Pay-Per-Play and Media Demo page. This demo shows how micropayments can support audio, video, and interactive pay-per-play experiences.
Then you might want to look at our our Purchase Link + Payout Link Demo. This page demonstrates how both payment links and payout links (advertising or other incentivized link) can co-exist on the same page.
Finally, check out our WordPress Paid Comments and Author Rights Demo Site (which you likely already saw when you claimed your free credits above). This site demonstrates how WordPress publishers can
- charge users to post comments
- charge users to become contributors and post articles
- instantly split each payments received between the publisher, authors, and referring partners
- give micropayment reward for viewing ads or other incentivized actions.
If you like what you see . . . you can then request participation in one of our pilot campaigns by contacting us through this publisher pilot request form.
Most micropayment systems have failed because users are asked to pre-fund an account before they know whether they will use it.
2WayMicropay lets publishers reverse that experience.
Instead of asking users to add funds first, a publisher can say:
“Claim free credits. Use them to sample content.”
That makes the first experience risk-free.
The 60-Day Publisher Pilot
We are inviting selected publishers to run a simple 60-day pilot.
The goal is to answer one practical question:
What will your audience pay for if the price is low enough and the payment experience is simple enough?
A typical pilot includes:
- 10–20 selected content items or participation features
- 2–4 price points
- Free site credits for first-time users
- Purchase links for premium content
- Optional payout links for promotions or rewards
- Weekly reporting
- Final performance review
What We Measure
The pilot is designed to produce real conversion data. We can help measure:
- Free credits claimed
- Purchase links clicked
- Completed purchases
- Conversion rate
- Revenue per content item
- Repeat purchases
- New accounts created
- Paid comments submitted
- Best-performing price points
- Best-performing content types
Example Pilot Ideas

Sports or outdoors site
Test paid access to fishing reports, maps, scouting reports, gear guides, seasonal tips, or archived content.
