# Design the paywall and teaser

**⭐ Pro feature:** The paywall and teaser need FlexWoo Memberships Pro.

Choose **Show Paywall & Teaser** under Restriction Rules, then go to **FW Memberships → Content Restriction → Paywall & Teasers**. A live preview shows the card as a visitor who is not logged in, on desktop and mobile.

## 1. Content and copy

- **Paywall Headline** and **Explanatory Message**.
- **Join Button Text** and where it goes – a plan (its purchase product opens) or another page.
- **Log In Button Text** for visitors who are not logged in.

## 2–6. Design

Set the card background, width, padding, border and shadow, the typography, the lock icon and both buttons. Fonts are system fonts, so nothing extra is loaded.

## Teaser and protection

- Choose how many words of the post non-members see above the card (0–300; 40–60 words is one or two paragraphs).
- The **blur area** suggests there is more to read. It is made of placeholder lines – the rest of the post is never sent to non-members.
- Decide whether search engines may index protected posts and whether RSS feeds hide them.
