THE PRODUCT, BEYOND THE PITCH
Editorially reviewed · Sources checked Sep 16, 2026
A good fit for
- Ghost creators and publishers who want to sell memberships using multiple payment providers beyond Stripe.
Know the limitations

- The PayGlue paywall keeps posts public in Ghost, so full text remains in RSS feeds and social web, providing a softer gate than Ghost's native one.
What you can do

Features
- Supports multiple payment providers in parallel, including Polar and PayPal, alongside Stripe.
- Automated webhook verification and deduplication to ensure reliable payment event processing without duplicate events.
