Steps
Confirm Stripe is connected to the Ghost site first — tiers are directly tied to the publication's connected Stripe account
POST to /ghost/api/admin/tiers/ with a tiers array containing name and pricing details to create a new paid tier
Update a tier (rename, archive, adjust description) with PUT /ghost/api/admin/tiers/{id}/, e.g. {"tiers":[{"name":"Silver","description":"silver"}]}
List tiers via GET /ghost/api/admin/tiers/, or the public GET /content/tiers/ for a read-only view (includes monthly_price/yearly_price/benefits when expanded)
Attach a member to a paid tier by referencing the tier id when creating/updating that member via the members endpoint
Known gotchas
There is no API path to create the Stripe connection itself — that's a one-time dashboard action under Settings > Membership
The tiers endpoint only supports Browse/Read/Edit/Add — archiving via edit is how you retire a tier, not delete
Content API tier reads are public/unauthenticated (content key only) while writes require the Admin API's JWT auth — don't confuse the two base paths
