codoc lets publishers, bloggers, and web service operators sell content directly to readers through a website. Add it to WordPress or an HTML site with an embedded tag, use its WordPress plugin, or connect through a supported service such as Hatena Blog. Creators can sell articles, videos, and audio as individual purchases, offer monthly or annual subscriptions, and accept tips. For paid subscriptions, creators can set a buyer trial period; billing starts automatically afterward unless the subscriber cancels during the trial. Buyers can pay by credit card, debit card, prepaid credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or convenience store payment. codoc serves paid content after payment or login authentication, and card details are sent directly to Stripe or CREDIX rather than stored on codoc's servers. The free codoc plan costs 0.00 JPY per free and charges a 15% sales fee plus a 300円 transfer fee per payout. codoc pro costs 9800.00 JPY per month, retains the 15% sales fee, and adds REST API access, buyer email access, buyer interface design changes, and private accounts. Managing article and subscription plan information through the API requires a pro contract. The maker is based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
