The discussion revolves around finding an E-commerce plugin for Discourse that integrates with Stripe for payment processing. oga initially asks if such a plugin exists, mentioning a client’s need for a “Market Place” feature. nathank suggests the Discourse Subscriptions plugin, which connects Stripe and group membership, but notes it’s not ideal for one-off purchases. oga confirms this, having already explored the Subscriptions plugin. pfaffman mentions starting work on a similar plugin but notes it’s still in progress and would require significant work to complete, particularly for two-way services like PayPal. When asked about updates, pfaffman reports no progress but expresses willingness to continue work if a budget is provided.
I was asked a question the other day about Discourse, but I can’t find an answer.
The Ask:
They want to have a “Market Place” where users can Post items for sale. They use Stripe for their payment processing.
My question:
Is there a plugin or a Tool that integrates with Discourse that I can point them to?
Sort of - there is this:
This connects Stripe and group membership, which can then be leveraged as you wish. However, this probably isn’t quite what you are after.
I don’t think that there is currently a plugin to do discrete (one-off) purchases via Stripe, but it sure would be helpful. We’d love it in order to accept payment for events, without having to do painful workarounds.
Exactly. I already played around with Subscription plugin, but it is not what they are looking for.
I started work on something like that. It counted on an external escrow service and staff to manage it manually (though it could theoretically be automated).
Integration with a two way service like PayPal, could be done, but it would be a fair amount of work. I’d think a week or two.
@pfaffman. Has there been any updates on this? Still WIP?
Thanks
There’s no progress. If you’ve got a budget please email me.
