> It could also be accomplished via the Discourse API, either by adding code to handle the API requests to a server that’s controlled by the site owner, or by using a service like Zapier to handle the API requests. For example, use Paypal or Lemon Squeezy as the trigger step on Zapier, and for the action step, use the “Webhooks by Zapier” zap to send POST requests to Discourse to manage group memberships.
