Publishers

For publishers

What SponsorPass does for your Ghost site, and the order to set it up in.

SponsorPass connects to your Ghost site and gives it a paid-contribution workflow. Members who hold a tier you choose can buy sponsored posts, press releases or guest posts with credits, write them in the editor you know from Ghost, and submit them to you. You review in SponsorPass and publish in Ghost. Nothing is ever published without you.

What it never does

It never publishes, schedules or unpublishes a post. It creates a draft when a contribution is submitted, updates that draft when the contribution is revised, and deletes a draft only when you ask and only if it is still exactly the draft it created. It never touches your settings, your theme, your newsletters or your members' subscriptions.

Set up in this order

  1. Check the requirements: a self-hosted Ghost 6 or a Ghost(Pro) Publisher plan or above.
  2. Connect the site with an Admin API key, and decide how bylines work.
  3. Create your packages and map a tier to them.
  4. Paste the snippet into Ghost's code injection, or place the button in your theme.
  5. Read how review and publishing work, and how credits move.
  6. Keep an eye on the health panel; start a plan when the trial ends.
