Include or exclude pages in the Offerwall
You can choose which pages to include or exclude in your Offerwall.

path-include /articles/
page-exclude /articles/my-public-article

example.com/other/
orexample.com/other

Set Offerwall frequency threshold
You can determine how often to show your site visitors the Offerwall by setting a frequency threshold. Site visitors at or above the updated threshold will begin seeing the Offerwall. Any pages excluded from the Offerwall will not count toward a visitor’s page views in the Offerwall. Pageviews where the user has already gained access through a user choice will also not count towards the threshold. Each visitor's threshold count resets 30 days after their first page view.

, the Offerwall will be shown to a site visitor after they have viewed two non-excluded pages on your site.Set entitlements for Offerwall choices
You can customize the entitlements that your site visitors receive after selecting a choice, such as the number of hours or page views granted to a site visitor who completes the requirements for an Offerwall choice. Entitlements can be customized per choice under each user choice’s setup.
