Hey, are there any plans to add one-time payments? Most people have subscription fatigue.

Donations already exist as a one time payment. Or are you trying to also tie people to content access in which case I don’t expect it anytime soon.
Yes. Instead of paying monthly for a subscription plan, people should be allowed to pay a one-time fee.
Yeah, that’s not what I meant. See my reply above.
I know that this post is almost a year old, but I wanted to jump in and second the request. I just set up a Patreon creator page for the sole purpose of hosting articles that can be purchased for a single payment.
Their platform allows you to offer subscriptions and multiple different paid tiers, but also give the option for people to purchase access to just a single item.
Adding this one change would make Ghost the perfect platform for me. And, yes, I already have a donation link set up, but this would be a payment for access not a tip out of generosity.

I’m not a Ghost user but I’m looking around for options. Just jumping in here to say that the lack of this feature might be the reason why I won’t be able to use it. It would be an important addition 
Adding one more voice for this request. With the same sentiment as OP, it’s hard for me to promote subscription of my page to my followers when they’ve been subscribing to other creators on other platforms like Patreon, Kofi, etc. I wonder how easy/hard it is to implement donation-locked pages natively in Ghost 
Is this something Ghost is exploring yet? I’ve found a lot of forum threads from users asking for one‑off payments in addition to monthly/yearly subscriptions, but I haven’t seen any recent response from the Ghost team …
Yes, as stated in the above posts, donations is a feature in Ghost that is used to make a one-time payment.
Thank you, that’s not what I am looking for though.
