Posts

Posts let you turn your PayRequest page into more than a payment page. You can share product news, launch updates, special offers, changelogs, or membership announcements directly on your public page at payrequest.me/<your-handle>/posts. Visitors can open the Posts tab from your PayRequest page, read your updates, and continue to your products or payment options without leaving your page.
Posts are useful for creators, SaaS businesses, consultants, communities, and anyone who wants a simple public update feed next to their products and payment options.

​
What You Can Publish

Each post has a type so visitors can quickly understand what kind of update they are reading.

News

Share general announcements, business updates, launch notes, or important changes.

Update

Tell customers what improved, what changed, or what is coming next.

Changelog

Keep a simple history of product improvements, fixes, and new features.

Sale

Promote limited-time offers, discounts, bundles, or seasonal campaigns.

Membership

Share updates for supporters, subscribers, members, or private communities.

Product Embeds

Add a product to a post so readers can view it and buy directly from the update.

​
Create a Post

1

Open Posts

From your PayRequest dashboard, go to Posts.
2

Click New Post

Start a new update and give it a clear title.
3

Choose a type

Pick the type that best matches the post: News, Update, Changelog, Sale, or Membership.
4

Write your content

Use the editor to format text, add headings, create lists, insert links, add emoji, or embed a YouTube video.
5

Optionally attach a product

If the post is about a product, choose it under Embedded product. The product will appear inside the post with a button to view it.
6

Publish or save as draft

Choose Public when the post is ready. Choose Draft if you want to keep working on it privately.

​
Drafts and Public Posts

Posts can have two statuses:
  • Draft — only visible to you in the dashboard. Use this while writing or reviewing an update.
  • Public — visible on your PayRequest page and available through a direct post link.
You can switch a post between Draft and Public at any time.

​
Members-Only Posts

Choose an access level for every post:
  • Everyone — anyone can read the complete post.
  • Free and paid members — confirmed free members and paying members can read it.
  • Active members only — only customers with an active or trial paid membership can read it.
Visitors without the required access see a locked state and the appropriate free-join, paid-join, or login action. When Community is enabled, select a Community section such as Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Tips & tricks. Sections organize the protected library without changing the post’s direct URL. Removing a section leaves its posts intact and uncategorized.

​
Comments and Emoji

Logged-in customers can comment below content they may read. Free members can comment on public and free-member posts. Paid members can also comment on active-members-only posts. Readers can type any Unicode emoji or use the quick emoji buttons below the comment field. Comments display the customer’s safe display name and are scoped to the creator and post. Customers can delete their own comments. Guests can read comments on content they may access, but must log in before joining the conversation. When notifying the members audience, the email contains only a short excerpt and a link. PayRequest checks membership access again when the reader opens the post.

Memberships

Set up your recurring plan, benefits, payment provider, member login, and protected content.

Community

Create a community-first page for visitors, free members, and paying members.

​
Pin a Post

Use the three-dot menu on a published post and select Pin post to keep it above newer posts in Community. A Pinned badge identifies it to visitors and members. Each account can pin one post at a time. Pinning another published post automatically unpins the previous one. Moving a pinned post back to Draft also removes the pin.

​
Where Posts Appear

Depending on their access, posts can appear in four places:
  • Posts dashboard — manage, edit, delete, and open your posts.
  • Public Posts tab — visitors can browse your public posts at payrequest.me/<your-handle>/posts.
  • Direct post link — each public post has its own URL, such as payrequest.me/<your-handle>/posts/my-update.
  • Community — public, free-member, and paid-member posts appear according to each reader’s access inside payrequest.me/<your-handle>/community.
Share direct post links in newsletters, social media, Discord, WhatsApp, or customer emails. The post keeps your profile, description, and navigation visible, so readers always know they are still on your official PayRequest page.

​
Product Embeds

When a post is connected to a product, PayRequest shows a compact product block inside the post. This is useful when you want to:
  • Announce a new product
  • Explain why a product changed
  • Promote a sale
  • Link a changelog entry to a paid upgrade
  • Send customers from an update straight to checkout
The product embed includes the product name, short details, price, image if available, and a button to view the product.

​
YouTube Videos

You can add YouTube videos to posts from the editor. Click the YouTube button, paste the video URL, and insert it into the post. When the post is viewed publicly, PayRequest turns supported YouTube links into an embedded video player.

​
Tips for Better Posts

Use clear titles. A title like “July Product Update” or “Summer Sale: 20% Off Business Plan” is easier to understand than a vague title like “Update”.
Keep the first paragraph useful. Visitors often skim. Start with the main point before adding details.
Use the right post type. Sales, changelogs, and membership posts feel different to readers. The type helps set expectations.
Embed the product when there is a clear action. If the post is about buying, subscribing, upgrading, or trying something new, attach the product so readers do not need to search for it.
