Automatic Paywall for Your IP
Gate, track, and monetize your deliverables.
Automatically Grant Access
Deliverable downloads are automatically made available immediately after payment.
Gated and Secure
Zero leak of your reports, integrated into your billing workflow.
Cut Your Bad Debt Costs
25% estimated reduction in bad-debt provisions (from ~4.5% to ~3.25%) due to increased up-front payment.
The Problem:
You’re chasing clients two months after they already got the report.
- Final PDFs go out before payment, so leverage is gone the moment it’s delivered.
- Clients receive their time-sensitive appraisal, environmental or architectural reports, and then drag their feet on the fee they owe.
- Setting up privileged access zones is time-consuming and non-core to your workflow.
The Solution:
Unity + Auto Invoicer with IP Protector + Cash Collector
Unity:
Automated milestone detection and status tracking, integrated into your existing job tracking workflows.
Auto Invoicer + IP Protector:
Send invoices at draft/final, but restrict access to report download until payment is confirmed.
Cash Collector:
Embed friction-less digital payments, encouraging instant bill-and-collect and subsequent report release. Integrate invoices automatically with Stripe and your cash-reconciliation processes.
How it Works:
1. Milestone Event
Job milestones trigger invoice workflows.
2. Invoice
Unity triggers Auto Invoicer, pulling fee and terms directly from contract data. Invoice with pre-populated payment links is automatically emailed to client, while deliverable sits in gated download area.
3. IP Protector
Paywall ties payment to report release based on organization-defined rules.
4. Release Access Once Paid & Reconciled
Easy Stripe integration drives faster electronic payments. Confirmation of payment triggers "Allow Download" settings.

Frequently Asked Questions:
The paywall ensures that deliverables like appraisal reports, environmental studies, or other IP-based documents are only accessible after payment is confirmed. Clients receive a notification that the report is ready, but the actual PDF or file is gated until funds clear, preserving your leverage and protecting your IP.
Any digital deliverable can be gated—appraisal reports, environmental assessments, feasibility studies, or even architectural drawings. Unity allows you to configure which files require pre-payment before release.
In practice, most clients adapt quickly because the process is clear and automated. The paywall integrates seamlessly into your invoicing workflow and includes pay-now links for online payment, making payment simple. Many customers report faster payment cycles and reduced collections friction after enabling the module.
Yes. The module integrates with Unity’s invoicing workflows as well as payment gateways like Stripe. Once a client pays online, the invoice is reconciled in your ledger, and the report is automatically unlocked for download—no manual steps required. Contact us to learn more about our API integration capabilities, which can be used to directly tie into leading accounting platforms.
Because deliverables are distributed directly through Unity’s secure system, clients cannot access files until payment is confirmed. Every access is tracked and logged, giving you full visibility into who accessed what, and when.
Absolutely. You can configure different release conditions by client type, invoice size, or project category. For example, repeat customers can be granted partial access after a deposit, while new clients must pay in full before receiving deliverables.
