Build a premium membership site
with zero plugin overhead.
Avoid the complexity of configuring WooCommerce or MemberPress. Ghost includes premium paywalls, customized subscription tiers, and Stripe checkouts directly inside its core.
Server-side paywalls that actually protect your content
Many WordPress membership plugins hide content client-side using simple CSS overrides or JavaScript blocks. Tech-savvy users can easily bypass them. Ghost implements strict server-side gating.
| Operational Metric | WordPress / Plugin Gating | Ghost Native Gating |
|---|---|---|
| Gating Level | Client-side (JS/CSS overrides) | Server-side (API content stripping) |
| Security Level | Low (Inspect DOM or disable JS to bypass) | High (Paid content is never sent to unsubscribed client) |
| Load Performance | Slows down due to plugin queries | Instantaneous (Ghost core engine optimized) |
| Stripe Billing Sync | Requires webhook plugin setup | Native callback synchronization |
Super easy Stripe integration built-in
Ghost integrates natively with Stripe, allowing you to accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and localized billing options in 135+ currencies.
One-click Stripe connection
