Paperview

What Paperview is

Paperview is a web paywall platform for publishers selling articles, editions, sections, bundles, books, research papers, and subscriptions. Publishers set content prices, while readers use one wallet and payment method to access protected material from multiple publishers. One-time article purchases remain available indefinitely; edition purchases last for that edition’s duration. The platform is intended for online publishers of any scale and supports resellers such as aggregators, clipping services, social media, and influencers. Paperview says it works with existing subscription and advertising systems, major publishing tools, and WordPress. Readers stay on the publisher’s domain, where the publisher retains its brand, first-party data, search rankings, and reader relationship. Reading is described as anonymous and without profiling. Reader, publisher, and reseller accounts are free, with no setup or maintenance fees. Listed fees include 15% for press content under €5, 10% for press content at €5 or more, 9% for books, and 12% for papers. Its bbooks service converts PDFs into protected, streamable HTML5 books with bulk conversion, AI audio narration, and responsive layouts. Research papers can include embedded 3D models, simulations, or video. Paperview is headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal.
