Ghost is a highly flexible platform, and the Members feature allows creators of all kinds to run a premium subscription business. It's possible to use this feature to sell premium courses **using recurring subscriptions** as your business model — where you ask visitors to pay a monthly or annual subscription fee to access the *full* library of course materials and other resources.

### Subscription courses

To put this into perspective, it's possible to build your own [Masterclass](https://www.masterclass.com/?ref=ghost.org) or [Treehouse](https://teamtreehouse.com/?ref=ghost.org), using Ghost to power your content and subscriptions.

Multiple courses can easily be categorized using tags, and since [Ghost themes](https://ghost.org/themes?ref=ghost.org) can be infinitely customized by a theme developer, you can present your course material in an infinite number of ways.

### Courses with one-off payments

Selling courses with one-off payments is not natively supported, but many publishers use integrations with tools like [Gumroad](https://ghost.org/integrations/gumroad/?ref=ghost.org) or [Shopify](https://ghost.org/integrations/shopify/?ref=ghost.org) to embed one-off products or services on their Ghost site.

This is a great option if your *primary* business model is to sell premium content via recurring subscriptions (which is what Ghost is designed for) — but you also have additional products to sell or promote using one-off payments.
