Planning a Ghost CMS publication with paid tiers
A Ghost CMS publication succeeds when the membership model is simple. Decide what stays free, what paid readers receive and how the offer differs between monthly and yearly plans before any theme work begins. Complicated tier structures confuse readers and increase support requests, while a clear promise makes the signup page easy to write.
Practical setup details matter as well. Ghost needs a Stripe account, a sending domain for newsletters and properly configured email records so messages reach inboxes. If you are moving from another platform, list the posts, members and redirects that must carry across. Thoughtful Ghost CMS development also tests the signup, payment and email flow end to end, including the member experience on mobile.
