Passes – Sesamy help center

A pass is used to package a set of posts in a bundle. The typical use case is to offer a subscription for all articles on a website, but it could be used to package just a selection of the content and it could be either a single purchase or a subscription.

The passes work the same way as the posts by adding metatags to the page:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta property="sesamy:price" content="10" />
    <meta property="sesamy:currency" content="EUR" />
    <meta property="sesamy:product-type" content="RECURRING" />

    <style>
      sesamy-content-container {
        display: none;
      }
      sesamy-button-container {
        --background: #ffffff;
        --font-weight: 600;
      }
      sesamy-button {
        --background: #436cad;
        --border-radius: 30px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <sesamy-login client-id="demo"></sesamy-login>
    <h1>Subscription</h1>
    <sesamy-content-container>
      <div slot="preview">
        <p>Subscribe to get access to all content</p>
      </div>
      <div slot="content">
        <p>Thanks for being a subscriber</p>
      </div>
    </sesamy-content-container>

    <sesamy-button-container>
      <sesamy-button text="Subscribe"></sesamy-button>
    </sesamy-button-container>

    <script
      defer
      src="https://assets.sesamy.com/scripts/web-components/sesamy-bundle.min.js"
    ></script>
  </body>
</html>

Once a pass has been created it can be referenced in other posts. The posts will be unlocked either if the user has purchased the article directly or any of the passes attached to the article.

<html>
  <head>
    <meta property="sesamy:price" content="2" />
    <meta property="sesamy:currency" content="EUR" />

    <style>
      sesamy-content-container {
        display: none;
      }
      sesamy-button-container {
        --background: #ffffff;
        --font-weight: 600;
      }
      sesamy-button {
        --background: #436cad;
        --border-radius: 30px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <sesamy-login client-id="demo"></sesamy-login>
    <sesamy-content-container pass="https://example.com/subscribe">
      <div slot="preview">
        <p>Preview content</p>
      </div>
      <div slot="content">
        <p>

      <sesamy-button
        text="Subscribe"
        item-src="https://example.com/subscribe"
      ></sesamy-button>
    </sesamy-button-container>

Index passes using JSON

The passes can also be made available for indexing using a json endpoint.

  "period": "yearly",

}
