The Reader Revenue Manager integration with Site Kit allows users to connect their site with Reader Revenue Manager giving you the option to add newsletter signups, surveys, registration prompts, or one-time and monthly contribution requests.
The module will be rolled out to a selection of sites as of Site Kit version 1.136.0. More sites will follow in the future. Once the module has been connected with an approved publication, Site Kit will place the necessary code on your site.
Note that at this time, Site Kit supports all prompts, except paywalls. Any additional prompts can be set up directly in the Publisher Center.
Setup
Site Kit will prompt you to set up Reader Revenue Manager from the dashboard. You can choose to Set up Reader Revenue Manager which will take you to the setup flow for the module.
You can also set up Reader Revenue Manager for your site from Site Kit > Settings > Connect More Services > Set up Reader Revenue Manager.
If you don’t already have a publication created for your site, you will need to create one. When clicking on the Create publication button, you will be directed to the Publisher Center, in order to create a new publication.
After creating your publication in the Publisher Center, you will need to click on the Reader Revenue Manager product card for Site Kit to be able to detect it.
After creating a publication, you can return to the Site Kit Reader Revenue Manager setup flow. Click on the Complete setup button.
If you have created a new publication, this will need to be reviewed by the Reader Revenue Manager team. This can in some cases take up to 2 weeks. You can continue to connect the Reader Revenue Manager module in Site Kit while your publication is being reviewed, but it won’t function until that publication has been approved.
If you already have a Reader Revenue Manager publication for your site, you can select that from the list. Once you have selected your publication, click on the Complete setup button.
If you select a publication that has not been fully set up, Site Kit will notify you of this and provide a link to complete your publication setup in the Publisher Center. You can select to Complete setup in Site Kit without completing your publication setup and complete this at a later stage.
Once your setup has been completed, you will see a success banner on the dashboard. The messaging on these will vary depending on whether your publication is still awaiting review.
Once your publication has been approved, you may see the introduction popup for Reader Revenue Manger on the dashboard.
Settings
