CASE STUDY

Gating an AI Tool Behind a Subscription

Keeping the Experience Intact

A Faster Path to Better Writing

We built a responsive React integration that sits directly inside the existing WordPress site, matching its look and working the same way across every major browser and device. The AI writing assistant could catch issues of misplaced words or unclear sentences, keeping tone professional and meaning clear, through a clean, familiar chat interface that works on any device.

THE PROBLEMS

What Had to Work Together

01

Visible Access

Visitors could see the chatbot, greyed out, instead of it being hidden entirely.

02

Email Prompt

It must open up with a popup asking for an email anytime someone logs in.

03

Live Verification

Email must get checked live against the WordPress subscription database.

04

Subscription Check

Valid subscribers must get in immediately, while everyone else is guided to pay.

05

Secure Getaway

Access must stay secure over time, without requiring a login every single day.

06

Pop up Payment

Payment must happen inside the same popup, without ever leaving the site.

THE SOLUTION

Real Access Control Layered in Four Moves

LIVE CHECK

Email verified against WordPress in real time

The chatbot stays visible on the homepage. The moment a visitor enters their email, it is matched against the live subscription database and unlocked instantly if valid.

Verified Return

Verified once, remembered for a week

After access gets verified, that verification is securely cached for 7 days. This means returning users can come back and use the app without having to go through the same verification process on every visit.

Daily audit

A background job that quietly revokes

A daily check runs behind the cache and removes access the moment a subscription lapses or is cancelled. There is no manual cleanup or outdated entitlements left behind.

Member Upgrade

Paid Member Subscriptions + PayPal Standard

Non-subscribers upgrade inside the same popup. Only an email is required, keeping the flow fast and the subscriber database clean.

Is Your System Really Controlling Access?

If you already use a membership or subscription plugin and need real, live access control instead of a simple show/hide toggle, this is a problem we can fix easily.

The Experience

A Look Inside the Experience

Welcome Screen

A responsive entry point that introduces the platform and gives clear next steps toward signing up or exploring what it offers.

Sign-Up Screen

Kept intentionally minimal. Only the fields required are shown, with secure handling and validation built in.

Payment Screen

Secure PayPal Standard integration lets users’ complete payment and gain access immediately, without breaking the flow or leaving the site.

Main Workspace

A responsive editor paired with a contextual suggestion panel, built for readability and focus. Underneath the clean interface, the architecture creates history as users write.
