Ghost 3.0 - Hackdot

Re:Ghost 3.0 by ndarilek on Tuesday October 22, 2019 @09:55AM (#21323596)

Haven't looked at Ghost in a while. The subscription system looks neat. I'd recently considered launching an indie game development site for a very niche style of gaming (audio-only) that could probably benefit from a Patreon-style model, but my margins would be so low that the Patreon cut would be hefty for little to no network effect benefit, and I know better than to try rolling my own.

Is there any mechanism for both subscription tiers and pay-what-you-want? So maybe I had a $5 tier and a $10 tier, and if someone wanted to pay $7 then they could and get the $5 benefits?

I'll research this myself when the 3.0 Docker image becomes available, but thought I'd ask first. Not even sure if Stripe supports that functionality, or if it does, how hard it'd be for me to add and contribute back.

Thanks for making Ghost.

At the moment we've just got a single plan with either a monthly or yearly price point, and adding support for more flexible subscription options is high on the todo list to work toward next!

Ah, this answers the question I had about membership models - I was wondering if it has the option to pay per-thing like Patreon does. ($x per Thing posted, with an optional cap of $y, processed at the end of the month.) Works a lot better for what I do than a flat per-month.

Nice, should be good enough for now for me. Is there a GitHub issue or something I can watch for updates?
