Support NEWS_AI
Reader support is the cleanest first paid layer for this product because it does not require a hard paywall, preserves SEO, and lets you validate willingness to pay before full subscription billing is live.
One-time support
Use this for simple reader contributions that fund newsroom tooling, feed quality, moderation, and product polish.
Set ONLYVIBE_DONATION_URL to plug in Stripe, Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi, or another one-time payment page.
Membership
Use this for recurring support tiers that can later evolve into premium briefings, alerts, saved filters, and community benefits.
Set ONLYVIBE_MEMBERSHIP_URL to plug in Patreon, Stripe memberships, or your reader club landing page.
Founding supporter workflow
If you want a lightweight start before billing, collect interest manually and convert the first engaged readers into a founding-members cohort.
Production note
Before collecting recurring money at scale, publish refund, cancellation, support, and privacy details that match your billing provider and jurisdiction.
