Configuring a paywall for a content type

To enable paywalling, you need to modify an existing content type to include a paywall toggle.

To add a paywall to a content type:

1. Click menu > Admin > Content Types.
2. Under Content Type Modifications, click New.
3. From the Types list, select the content type to which you are adding a paywall.
4. Under Additional Items, do the following:
   
   1. Click add_circle_outline and select Boolean Field.
   2. In the Name field, enter a field label, such as Paywalled.
      

      

   3. In the Developer > Annotations field, paste field.as(Java.type('brightspot.entitlements.zephr.ZephrContentApiCustomVariableObjectFieldModification')).setZephrCustomVariable(true).
      

      

5. Click Save.

When creating new assets based on the content type (such as new articles), editors see a Paywalled toggle in the content edit form. Toggling on Paywalled applies a paywall to the asset.
