Buttondown Documentation
Buttondown offers a variety of pricing models for paid newsletters. You can choose from the following options:
The simplest and most common pricing model is a flat rate. You set a price for your paid newsletter, and subscribers pay that amount each month or year.
If you want to offer a more flexible pricing model, you can use the "Pay what you want" model. With this model, subscribers can pay any amount they want on a recurring basis. You can specify both a minimum price ("whatever you want, as long as it's more than $5") or a suggested price ("most people pay $10").
Lastly, you can set up a payment scheme such that paid subscribers pay for every premium email you send. This model is useful for more erratic publishing schedules where charging a flat monthly rate doesn't make sense.
(Note that this pricing model does not allow you to sell access to individual emails.)
Sadly, no — there's no way at the moment to offer "choose your own price, and pay that per email". We're planning on adding this feature in the future, and let us know if you'd like to be notified when it's ready!
