Overview
In this article, we'll show you how to connect your WordPress instance to the Frisbii Media backend by installing the WordPress Connector.
The WordPress Connector establishes the connection between your WordPress instance and the Frisbii Media application without any coding effort. It offers a wide range of functions for protecting content behind a paywall and making products purchasable through a checkout.
In addition to your WordPress account, you'll need a Frisbii Media account where you can create your offers. The WordPress Connector's functionality also requires the use of Frisbii Media SSO. Besides your Frisbii Media access, you'll need active accounts with payment providers such as Stripe, PayOne, PayPal, or Amazon Pay to make your products purchasable for a fee in the checkout.

Checkout
Under "Checkout", click "Yes" to activate the checkout function and display additional settings.
Below, you can define the endpoints on your WordPress page if they differ from the default. Under "Access Rights", if the customer already has access rights, they are redirected to the "already purchased" endpoint. Under "Miscellaneous", you can define the entry screen for your user and specify whether they should always start with the login or registration screen. Then click "Save Changes".
Paywall
Now activate the "Paywall". Here you can define the position of the paywall on the WordPress page if it should differ from the default. You can also change the appearance of the paywall using HTML. Then click "Save Changes".
SSO
You define how the double opt-in process for your users should work under the "SSO" tab. Confirmation of registration can be carried out either by token or by email. These options apply when using Frisbii Media SSO. If an external SSO system is used, the SSO settings here have no effect.
Advanced
Under the "Advanced" tab, you can define the type of error logs using the drop-down menu. Error logs are currently written to the database table. Finally, you can decide whether the data should be deleted upon uninstallation. When you click "Save Changes", the data is synchronized with the Frisbii Media backend.
You have now completed the installation of the WordPress Connector and connected it to the Frisbii Media Merchant Backend, as well as made your individual settings. For more information on paywalls, offers, and access rights, click here.
