Support the show
Add Signal's membership call-to-action to the homepage by publishing a page slugged support — it lists your paid tiers and a donation link.
The Support the show section is the membership call-to-action on your homepage — the panel that invites listeners to join a paid tier or chip in a one-time donation. It's the main way Signal turns homepage visitors into supporters.
This section needs a support page
Unlike the other money-related settings, this section only appears when you've published a page slugged support. Turning on paid tiers by itself will not make it show up. Create the page as below, and the section appears.
Set it up
In Ghost Admin, create a new Page and set its URL slug to support (open the page settings and edit Page URL).
Give it a title — the panel's headline (for example, "Support the show").
Add an excerpt — a short line explaining why to join (Open page settings → Excerpt).
Publish the page. The Support the show panel now appears on your homepage.

What the panel shows
You write the headline and the intro line; Signal fills in the rest from your Ghost membership settings automatically:
- If you have paid tiers set up, the panel lists each active paid tier with its price and a Join button, plus a Donate any amount link for one-time gifts.
- If you haven't set up paid plans yet, the panel shows a single free Become a member button so listeners can still subscribe by email.
The page body isn't shown here
Only the page's title and excerpt appear in the homepage panel. You don't need to write anything in the page body for this section.
Setting up the tiers themselves
Prices, benefits, trials, and one-time donations are configured in Ghost's own membership settings (and need Stripe connected for paid plans). See Membership.
