Adding functionality to Ghost?

Developer help
1

Hi All

As I understand it, Ghost does not have plugins. Is this correct?

I am looking at various payment gateways that accept crypto payments / tips. I would like to add the ability to accept crypto payments for site subscriptions and tips for individual articles. As such, I would need to add something to the page that lays out an article as well as some way for users to pay for subscriptions. I would also need some place in the admin panel to configure accounts, subscription levels etc.

How would I go about this sort of thing? Can it all be done with integrations?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Your options are to write some code (a lot of code) or pay somebody to write a lot of code.

You could also submit the feature/s you want as a post in the ā€œIdeasā€ category of this forum.

I would check if thereā€™s an integration that can help you first:

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. I did look through the integrations and found none that would work. This lead me to thinking in terms of checking if I am able to get one which does something similar and adapting it.

I thought perhaps the Paypal or Stripe integrations but I have not managed to find source for either of these yet. Admittedly I have not spent a load of time looking yet. :slight_smile:

Hi Donald,

Sorry, I missed your reply.

I would like to have a go at getting it working. I am currently looking at using the Paypal and / or Stripe integrations as a base from which to start.

Are either of these available via Github?

Thank you for your reply.

Regards

Stripe ceased processing Bitcoin transactions back in 2018.

I donā€™t know if Paypal processes crypto transactions, but I wouldnā€™t recommend using Paypal anyway.

I was actually wanting to use them more as a template for my own integration. I am very new to this community so am still feeling my way around and trying to figure out what is the best way to achieve things and make changes.

If I understand correctly the best way to make a ā€˜pluginā€™ is an integration?

Regards
