Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan
What it is
codoc lets publishers, bloggers, and web service operators sell content and subscriptions directly through their websites. It can be added to WordPress and HTML sites with an embedded tag, and a WordPress plugin is available; the maker also identifies support for Hatena Blog and custom HTML or CMS sites. Creators can sell articles, videos, and audio as individual items, offer one-time purchases, set monthly or annual subscriptions, and accept tips. Subscription creators can configure a free trial for buyers; billing starts automatically afterward unless the subscriber cancels during the trial. Buyers can pay by credit or debit card, prepaid credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or convenience store payment. Paid content is delivered through codoc and shown by JavaScript after payment or login authentication. Card details go directly to Stripe or CREDIX and are not stored on codoc's servers. The free plan costs nothing and charges a 15% sales fee plus a 300円 transfer fee per payout. codoc pro costs ¥9,800 a month and also charges a 15% sales fee; REST API access for managing article and subscription plan information requires a pro contract.
