Flagship site template
Turn readers into paying members. Content Privée is a complete paid-content publication on Drupal, with paywall, member checkout, accounts and a finished theme, installed preconfigured and ready to use the day you buy it.
From checkout to live
Checkout starts fulfillment on its own: your Private Packagist customer is created and the Content Privée bundle is granted. Access is usually ready within minutes of paying.
Members read in full; everyone else gets a teaser that pulls them toward the join button. Publishing and selling become the same act.
Access is governed by Drupal Commerce checkout, orders and accounts, the same engine that runs online stores.
The Astra theme, built on Centarro Bootstrap, with the editorial components a serious publication needs. It looks finished before you touch a line of CSS.
Registration, order history and membership status pages your members manage themselves, so you answer fewer support emails from day one.
Checkout, tax and order handling arrive configured and tested. Your first sale can happen the day you install.
Every package in the bundle, recipes, themes and asset modules alike, updates with one Composer command for the year your license runs.
A distribution forks Drupal and stays in your way for the life of the site. A site template does its work on day one and leaves you with a standard Drupal site.
The template installs a new site already configured: content types, checkout, theme and the rest. The setup work is done before you arrive.
No fork, no parallel core, no waiting on a distribution maintainer. Any Drupal module, any Drupal developer, any Drupal hosting works exactly as it always does.
The template's own packages, its recipes, themes and modules, upgrade through Composer like everything else while your license runs.
Everything you need to launch the publication and to run it long term, delivered and updated through Composer as one bundle.
The recipes that install and configure the publication: content model, paywall, member checkout and accounts.
The Bootstrap 5 base theme all Centarro site templates are built on, with its component library and theme settings.
The publication theme, built on Centarro Bootstrap, with the editorial components the site uses.
The supporting modules the themes and recipes depend on, updated together with them.
Payment processing through Drupal Commerce's Stripe gateway.
Your license grants access to a private Composer package bundle.
Built on Commerce 3.x: catalog, checkout and orders on the standard Drupal Commerce engine.

Several stores, agency terms or a setup the standard license does not cover. Tell us what you need.
A license covers one production store. Everything you install is GPL code and stays yours after the license ends.
No revenue share
Subscription platforms bill you every month and take a share of what your members pay. A Content Privée license is one payment for a year of updates and support, and it takes nothing from your sales. What you install stays yours when the year ends.
Access to the Content Privée bundle on our private Composer repository: the site template recipes, the Centarro Bootstrap and Astra themes, and the asset modules for themes and recipes. The license includes a year of Composer updates and setup support.
No. Content Privée is sold as one 1-year license: a single payment covers the year, and it does not renew automatically. To keep receiving updates after that, buy another year.
Setup starts the moment your order is paid and usually finishes within a few minutes. We email you as soon as it is ready, and your licenses page shows the current status.
Your site keeps running. Everything you installed is GPL code, yours to keep, modify and even redistribute. What ends is access: package downloads and Composer updates stop. We email you before the year is up, and buying another year restores access without starting over.
Every license includes setup support during the license year: we help you get installed and running.
Yes. The packages install anywhere Composer runs. That is the whole delivery model.
One license covers one store. If you need several, contact us and we will agree terms that fit.
Yes. Centarro supports the Drupal Association, the nonprofit behind Drupal, the open-source platform Content Privée is built on. Revenue from this store also funds the updates your license includes.
One license for the full bundle, a year of updates, and every sale yours. You could be installing Content Privée within the hour.
