SOLVED Ecommerce for Ghost
-
Hi, do you guys have any pointers or suggestions for an ecommerce for Ghost platform that is Cloudron-compatible? I’m looking for some options to set it up on my blog. Many thanks!

Check out stripe! In fact with the latest version of Ghost, stripe subscriptions and memberships are built in. I evaluated a few different sites and stripe seems to win hands down.
Good luck!
P.S. if you don't mind sharing, post your URL, we can check out your site and give you a hand! -
@vjvanjungg As @will said, the latest Ghost has subscriptions (you have to enable it under labs iirc). Also, there shouldn't be anything special about a Ghost installation of Cloudron compared to a normal VPS. So, all ecommerce solutions for Ghost should work on Cloudron as well. If it doesn't let me know and we will fix the Cloudron package.
Ghost has a forum of it's own - https://forum.ghost.org/ . That might be a good place for app specific questions (I see some questions about subscription there already).

Oooh, I've always used WordPress for everything and not really followed development of Ghost closely, but looks like it's come on a LONG way since I last had a look and having nice recurring subscriptions out of the box makes me think perhaps it's time I took a closer look...
(see also Cloud Patron - Open source Patreon alternative
and Libreapay - Recurrent donations platform) -
Well, I was thinking of a shop (like woocommerce) where we can post & sell/ship products or track inventory. I meant if such could be an app on Cloudron.
It’s a roadblock for now since I’m outside of Stripe’s supported countries. I can’t monetize using Ghost’s native sub. My 4-month-old baby if you would like a look: zenyrgarden.com , I appreciate it.

@jdaviescoates Ghost has given much more peace of mind when creating content @@! and yeah they have come a longg way. A fellow on this forum (yusf) recommended Liberapay a while ago, let me take a closer look, do u know if they take any cuts for donations?

@vjvanjungg love the site! I'll subscribe! Great work on populating it with content... I have.... two articles...
TheWolves.io -
@vjvanjungg said in Ecommerce for Ghost:
do u know if they take any cuts for donations?
I assume so, at minimum they'll be payment processor fees.
But also, from memory I think it works in way less countries than Stripe, and it's not really for e-commerce either but collecting regular donations.

thank u ^^ that’s very motivating. I love TheWolves.io & its theme! pls do more cyber security tips! I was searching for a .io TLD couple of times in the past, but it’s too darn expensive.
will keep searching & testing some more ideas out. i’m glad for the ideas & your generosity.

@vjvanjungg These days the extension doesnt matter! grab an xyz for $5 and let the content speak. I wanted to say how much I liked your site! Really zen, really interesting content too. I loved how down to earth and useful the articles were. Keep at it!

that’s the best thing i’ve ever received thank u man, u made my day
