1 ONEcount is a powerful gating/paywall solution that allows you to manage all of your business rules in the software, rather than hard-coding them into your web site Content Management system.

3 A gated resource or product is a URL that ONEcount will only allow web visitors to access if they are both known and subscribed to that product. These are two different concepts that must be satisfied in order for the visitor to access the URL.

5 If a user is "known" to ONEcount, meaning ONEcount has set the appropriate cookies and know who he or she is, AND the user is subscribed to the URL product or a package that contains the URL product, then when the user clicks on the URL, they will see the contents of the URL without any forms or authentication.

7 If a user is "known" to ONEcount and not subscribed to the product or a package containing the product URL, he or she will be directed to a subscription form that is pre-populated with their demographic information. They will be required to subscribe to the product or package, including processing a credit card if the product or package has a price attached to it.

9 If a user is "unknown" to ONEcount, this means that the appropriate cookies have not been set for ONEcount to identify the user. The user must first be identified to ONEcount. There are two ways to identify the user: the user can log into the system with a username or e-mail and their password. Or, the user can look up their account using information they may already know about their account. This "lookup" feature is ideal for ONEcount customers who have databases of users with no e-mail address on file. The Lookup feature allows users to look up their accounts with a customer ID and a zip code, or some other combination of personally-identifiable information.
