Sell posts, videos, downloads, comments, and pay-per-play content for pennies — without credit-card checkout, subscriptions, or user pre-funding.

2WayMicropay gives WordPress publishers a simple way to test direct revenue from visitors who may never subscribe but may gladly pay a few cents, nickels, quarters or dollars for specific content they already want.

For busy publishers: This 60-day test will help show if existing audience will pay pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters for specific content or participation rights. We provide with a free plugin, free setup, and free reporting of all metrics needed to evaluate this payment option.

With our WordPress plugin, ordinary links can become:

Purchase links — users pay a small amount to unlock content.
Payout links — users receive free credits for clicking, viewing, trying, or participating. These come in two flavors:
- Site-credit links — site owners give visitors free trial credits that can only be spent on that site.
- Qix Credit links — users receive broader credits that can be used anywhere 2WayMicropay is accepted.

This means a publisher can do something traditional payment systems cannot do well:

Let users try micropayments risk-free before asking them to add funds.

Start Here — Try the Demo in Three Fast Steps

To experience the demo as a real user, you will first need a free Qixit account.

This allows the system to show how 2WayMicropay tracks credits, completes purchases, applies site-only credits, and delivers payout rewards.

Step 1: Create a free Qixit account

Create Your Free Qixit Account
https://qixit.com/create-an-account/

2WayMicropay is a two-way credit system.

A Qixit account is needed so the platform can:

Add free demo credits to your account
Let you spend those credits on demo content
Show how purchase links work
Show how payout links work
Track site-only credits separately from broader Qix Credits
Demonstrate how publishers can give users a risk-free first experience

There is no need to add funds to test the demo.

Step 2: Claim free demo credits

After creating your account, return to this page and click the free demo-credit link below.

Claim $1 in Free Demo Site Credits and you will be redirected to our our WordPress Paid Comments and Author Rights Demo site. There you can post a comment for 20 cents on one of our demo pages.

Note, these vendor credits can be limited to a single site or to a group of products owned by a single vendor on any website. These vendor credits are ideal for publishers who want to give first-time visitors a risk-free way to try paid content.

Step 3: Use your free site credits on our demo pages

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 may have already seen when you collected your free credits above. This site demonstrates how WordPress publishers can charge users to comment, post premium comments, or pay for author rights.

Why Publishers Need a Micropay Option

Most online content is worth more than zero but less than a subscription.

A reader may not want another monthly plan.
A casual fan may not want a full membership.
A visitor may not want to enter a credit card for a 10-cent article.
A gamer may prefer paying 5 cents to play instead of watching another forced ad.
A commenter may gladly pay 2 cents, 10 cents, or more to make their comment stand out.

That is the gap 2WayMicropay is built to fill.

Our goal is not to replace advertising or subscriptions. It is to give publishers a new option:

Pay-per-view, pay-per-play, pay-to-comment, pay-to-download, and pay-to-participate — at true micropay rates.

What the WordPress Plugin Can Do

Using our Developer portal, any website can be configured to use 2WayMicropay hyperlinks. But for starters, we have already built a free 2WayMicropay WordPress plugin that allows site owners to test multiple monetization models on any WordPress site.

1. Sell individual content

Use 2WayMicropay purchase links to sell access to:

Individual articles
Images
Downloads
Videos
Audio files
Archives
Premium guides
Special reports
Bonus content
Members-only posts
Pay-per-play experiences

Instead of asking users to subscribe, you can offer a simple choice:

“Unlock this for 5¢” or 10¢, 25¢, 45¢, $3.25 or any amount you want to test. Your pricing is no longer dictated by credit card fee minimums!

2. Give visitors free trial credits

The best way to reduce friction is to let visitors try the system without adding funds.

With payout links, a site owner can give users free credits to test the experience.

Those credits can be configured as:

Site credits
Credits that can only be spent on your own site. These are ideal for free trials, promotions, onboarding, games, sample content, and first-purchase incentives.

Qix Credits
Credits that can be used anywhere in the broader 2WayMicropay ecosystem.

This allows publishers to say:

“Click here to get free trial credits. Then use them to unlock sample content.”

That is a much easier first experience than asking a cold visitor to open an account and add funds.

3. Sell participation rights

2WayMicropay is not limited to selling passive content.

Publishers can also charge small amounts for user participation, including:

Posting a comment
Moving a paid comment above free comments
Becoming an author
Posting user-submitted content
Submitting paid guest posts
Participating in special discussions

This can create new revenue while reducing spam, low-effort comments, and abusive participation.

4. Support multiple media types

The same concept can apply across different content formats:

Text articles
Image access
Video unlocks
Audio unlocks
AI responses to user requests
Games
Online courses or training
Calculators
Premium tools
Downloads
Community features

If a user wants one small thing, 2WayMicropay allows you to collect the price they are willing to pay . . . especially if they are resistant to a subscription.

The 60-Day Publisher Pilot

We are inviting selected WordPress publishers, local media sites, niche publishers, and content platforms to run a simple 60-day pilot.

The goal is to answer one practical question:

Will your existing audience pay small amounts for specific content or participation rights?

Pilot structure

A typical pilot includes:

10–20 pieces of selected content
2–4 price points
Free trial credits for first-time users
Purchase links for premium content
Optional payout links for user incentives
Optional paid comments or paid author rights
Instant reporting on all sales and payouts
Final performance report

Content to test

Good pilot content includes:

Investigative stories
Local guides
Premium videos
Archives
Downloadable PDFs
Audio clips
Niche reports
Special-interest content
Games or interactive tools
Comment-heavy articles
User-submitted content
Paid guest-post opportunities

The best first test is content your audience already values but that is currently hard to monetize with advertising alone.

Suggested price points

The pilot can test price points such as:

1¢ for very small actions
2¢ for posting a “two cents worth” comment
5¢ for short articles, small downloads, or simple interactions
10¢ for premium comments, archives, or short media
25¢ for special reports, videos, guides, or premium access
50¢ to $5.00 for higher-value downloads, reports, tools, or experiences

The purpose of the pilot is not to guess the perfect price.

The purpose is to measure what your users actually do.

What We Measure

The pilot is designed to produce real conversion data.

We can help measure:

Page views
Purchase-link clicks
Payment starts
Completed purchases
Conversion rate
Revenue per content item
Average price paid
Repeat purchases
New accounts created
Free trial credits claimed
Free credits spent
Paid comments submitted
Author-rights purchases
User behavior by content type
Best-performing price points

At the end of the pilot, you will know which content your audience values enough to pay for.

Why Free Trial Credits Matter

Most micropayment systems fail because users are asked to pre-fund an account before they know whether they will use it.

2WayMicropay is different.

With payout links and site credits, publishers can give visitors free trial credits first.

That means your visitors can experience the system without adding funds.

A visitor can:

Click to receive free trial credits.
Use those credits to unlock sample content.
Learn how micropayments work.
Return later to buy more content.
Eventually add funds or earn broader Qix Credits.

This creates a low-risk path from curiosity to usage.

What Makes 2WayMicropay Different

2WayMicropay is not just another checkout button.

It is a two-way payment platform.

Users can spend credits, but they can also receive credits.

Publishers can charge users, but they can also reward users.

This makes entirely new models possible:

Pay to read
Pay to watch
Pay to listen
Pay to play
Pay to comment
Pay to author
Pay to download
Pay to unlock
Get paid to try
Get paid to view
Get paid with site-only credits
Get paid with ecosystem-wide Qix Credits

That two-way structure is what allows publishers to reduce friction, create free trials, reward participation, and build a micropay economy around their own audience.

Who Should Apply for a Pilot?

The pilot is ideal for:

WordPress publishers
Local news sites
Niche content sites
Bloggers with loyal audiences
Video publishers
Podcast publishers
Game sites
Course creators
Paid newsletter operators
Fan communities
Membership sites
Comment-heavy communities
Download libraries
Sites with archives
Sites with premium guides, reports, or tools

You do not need to be a large publisher.

You need an audience that values at least some of your content enough to try paying a small amount for it.

Pilot Partner Benefits

Selected early pilot partners may receive:

Help setting up the plugin
Help choosing pilot content
Suggested price testing
Free trial-credit configuration

Start With a Simple Question

You do not need to change your whole business model.

You only need to test one question:

What will your audience pay for if the price is low enough and the payment experience is easy enough?

2WayMicropay gives you a way to find out.
