Templates & screen types

Screen types

Beyond paywalls, a screen can welcome, ask, announce, warn or thank. Learn how each type works.

All screens are built the same way and use the same editor. The type only groups templates in the gallery. It is not saved in the screen.

What differs from a paywall

  • A paywall has plan cards and a Purchase Button, and your site prices them.
  • Other screens usually have Run your code buttons. Your site gets the Action ID in onAction and decides what to do.
  • Screens without plans need no purchase button to publish.
  • Every screen needs a way out: "Not now", "Maybe later" or "Skip" buttons, using Close the screen.

Good habits

  • One main action (a filled button) and one quiet way out.
  • For permissions, explain the benefit first. The main button runs your code, which then asks the browser.
  • Survey answers are large buttons or answer cards, each with its own ID.
  • Keep text readable in light and dark mode.
