What To Do If You Encounter a Paywall with Our Articles: A Step-by-Step Guide


In the world of digital content, paywalls have become a common way for publishers to monetize their work. While it can be frustrating to encounter one when you're eager to read a specific article, there are steps you can take to navigate these barriers smoothly and ensure you still access the content you need. If you’ve encountered a paywall while trying to access one of our articles, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with several ways to proceed.

Step 1: Understand Why Paywalls Exist

Before diving into the steps to overcome the paywall, it’s helpful to understand why they exist in the first place. Paywalls are used by publishers to limit access to certain content, providing exclusive articles or in-depth insights to paying subscribers. This model helps support the creation of high-quality, expert-driven content, like the articles we publish here. While we strive to offer valuable resources to all our readers, some premium content is reserved for subscribers to ensure the continued quality and production of that content.


Step 2: Sign Up for a Free Trial

At Customs Manager, we offer a free trial for one of our Premium Plans, giving you access to exclusive content, expert analysis, and detailed resources for a limited period. If you encounter a paywall on one of our articles, this is your best option to unlock all premium content without any commitment. Simply sign up for the free trial, and you’ll be able to read the article as well as explore other valuable resources and updates.

How to Sign Up for the Free Trial:

  1. Visit the Website: Go to our homepage at www.customsmanager.info.

  2. Submit Your Email: Enter your email address and follow the steps to create your free trial account.

  3. Enjoy Full Access: Once you've signed up, you can access the full library of content for the duration of the trial.


If you like what you see during your trial period, you can choose to continue as a paid subscriber to maintain access to all premium features.


Step 3: Check for Free Articles or Previews

Many times, publishers offer a limited selection of articles for free to attract new readers. If you come across a paywall, take a moment to look for other articles that might be available without charge. At Customs Manager, we occasionally provide free articles or previews of paid content to give potential subscribers a taste of what’s inside. If you’re encountering a paywall, make sure you haven’t already accessed all the free content available.


Step 4: Subscribe to Our Premium Plan

If you find that our articles are providing critical insights that you want to access regularly, a subscription to one of our Premium Plan s may be the best solution. As a subscriber, you’ll have unlimited access to all of our premium content, expert analyses, and exclusive resources that are updated regularly.
