1. Enable Custom Membership

Skalven replaces Ghost Portal with its own custom membership layout.
To activate it:
  1. In Ghost Admin, go to Design & Branding.
  2. Open the Theme tab in the top-right corner.
  3. Find the Custom membership option and toggle it on.
Once enabled, Skalven will automatically use its own custom Plans page layout instead of Portal.

​
2. Create the Plans Page

To display your membership tiers using the Skalven layout, you’ll need to manually create a page:
  1. Go to Pages in Ghost Admin and click New Page.
  2. Set the page title to something like “Plans” or “Membership”.
  3. Open the Page Settings panel and set the URL to:
    /plans (required)
  4. (Optional) Add a short intro text in the Excerpt field — this will appear under the page title.
  5. Publish the page.
💡 When this page exists at /plans, Skalven automatically styles it with the custom pricing layout — no extra setup needed.

​
3. Add Premium Membership Plans

To configure your membership tiers:
  1. Go to Tiers inside the Ghost Admin Settings.
  2. Click Free and update its description and benefits.
  3. Connect your site to Stripe:
    👉 https://ghost.org/integrations/stripe/
  4. Once Stripe is active, click the + button inside the Tiers area to create premium plans.
  5. Add titles, descriptions, benefits, and pricing.
  6. Click Save & close.
Your tiers will now automatically appear on the /plans page.

​
4. Add FAQs or Custom Content

You can add additional content to the Plans page to help visitors understand your offering:
  1. Open your Membership page in Pages.
  2. Use the Page Content area to add:
    • FAQ sections
    • toggle cards
    • headings
    • images or CTAs
    • any other block or component
  3. Click Update to save changes.
This content appears below the pricing table, giving you a clean and flexible membership landing page.
