Free for 7 days. No card. 0% of your sales, on every plan.

The short version

To use buttons across the whole site, add the Chargedeck script once in Code injection.

Step by step

How to add Chargedeck to Ghost

Pick the method that suits your site. They all take the payment on the same secure Chargedeck checkout.

Method 1: in a post or page

Add an HTML card

  1. In the editor type /html and press Enter.
  2. Paste the snippet and publish or update the post.
Buy button
<a data-chargedeck="your-page-slug">Buy now</a>
<script src="https://chargedeck.app/embed.js" defer></script>

Swap your-page-slug for the last part of your checkout link. You can copy ready-made code from the embed generator.

Method 2: site-wide

Load the script once with Code injection

  1. Go to Settings, Code injection and paste the script into Site footer.
  2. In any HTML card you now only need the button itself.

What you get

A full checkout, not a bare payment button

Order bumps

A one-tap add-on above the pay button. How bumps work.

Your own processor

Payments settle straight into your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account.

Flat fee, 0% of sales

From $9.99 a month with no sales caps. See pricing.

Custom fields

Variants and stock

Sell options with stock limits, and let buyers fill a basket.

Tracking

Your money, direct

Your Ghost site sells. Your processor gets paid.

Chargedeck is non-custodial. A buyer's payment goes from their card or bank straight into your own processor account, and your processor pays you out on its normal schedule. The money never sits in a Chargedeck balance, so there is nothing for us to take a percentage of.

Pricing

Flat plans. No sales caps. 0% of your sales.

The price does not move when your sales do. Pick by how many brands you run, not by how much you earn.

FAQ

Ghost checkout: common questions

Does this replace Ghost memberships?

No. Ghost memberships are for paid subscriptions to your publication. Chargedeck is for selling products and one-off offers alongside them.

Will the button work in email newsletters?

Email clients do not run scripts, so use the link method in newsletters. The link opens your checkout page.

Does Chargedeck take a cut of my sales?

No. Chargedeck charges a flat monthly fee and 0% of your sales on every plan. The only other cost is the card processing fee your own processor charges you, which Chargedeck never sees or marks up.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 7 days with everything unlocked, and you do not enter a card to start. After the trial, selling needs a plan from $9.99 a month. Your link-in-bio page stays free forever.
