When writing a post, you can insert a break at any point: everything above it stays public, everything below is gated. LetterBucket has two kinds of breaks:
BlockWho can read past itWhere it applies
Paywall BreakPaying members only. Non-paying readers are prompted to upgrade their subscription.Email and website
Subscriber BreakYour subscribers (free or paid).Website view only

​
Inserting a break

  1. Open a post in the editor.
  2. Type / where you want the break, or use the insert menu.
  3. Choose Paywall Break or Subscriber Break.
The break appears as a visual marker in the editor showing exactly where the gated content starts. You can drag it to reposition it like any other block.
The Paywall Break requires monetization to be active. If you haven’t connected Stripe yet, selecting it opens a “Turn on monetization” dialog with a shortcut to your Monetization Settings — or you can choose Keep writing and set it up later.

​
What readers see

When a reader without access reaches the break on your website, the content below is hidden and they see an upgrade prompt inviting them to subscribe or become a paid member.
Combine breaks with the auto-paywall setting to also gate your older posts automatically, without editing them one by one.
