No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    This plug-in does exactly what’s described in the description fluidly with no issues. Let’s my personal website restrict content based off of, and sell NFTs.

    I have been looking for the options of this plugin for over 2 months. I finally found it and tested it. It’s just great. I am using it to restrict content based on NFT ownership. At the beginning, without OpenSea api it was imposible, but thanks to the developer he added moralis api and now it works like a charm. If you want to fully customize it you might need to know some programming languages, but it compeltely fulfills its purpose.I am giving 5 stars and if I could I would give it more.Developer deserves donations for it’s great work, definitely I am going to do it.Please, keep updating it and thanks for your great project.

    TLDR; NFT Verification! Confirming ownership is one of the main purposes of the blockchain. Most plugins* lock NFT Verification behind a premium upgrade. Web3 Access does not. It was easy to set up and implement on my site. It’s nice to connect to a website, but what’s the point if I can’t verify if my visitor has the asset they need. Most plugins* put NFT Verification behind a premium barrier. Web3 Access does not. Confirming ownership is one of the main purposes of the blockchain and I can do that with this plugin with ease. The UI could use work or perhaps better options for front-end product layouts, but that’s design related. If this plugin doesn’t do anything else except keep working, it’s solid and is something I recommend. The OpenSea API can be difficult to deal with. Perhaps Moralis API works instead? Never tried. I wanted a simple way to block content and verify ownership of (ERC-721/ERC-20) assets. Maybe add a shortcode for disconnecting a wallet? Or Gutenburg support for multiple products? All in all, good stuff. Thank you! Thank you for creating and sharing this plugin. *at this time`

    I added all information about the NFT collection -ERC721- and i activated the restriction on some pages but nothing happened, still access granted. And when i activate the restriction for all the wrbsite there is no button in login page to connect the wallet. And many more options not working This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by jobayr. This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by jobayr.
