Is it possible to allow users to pay by going to the Stripe website? A lot of users on my Forum would prefer that to be more safer, the UI is also a lot cleaner. This way I can also enable more Stripe options eg. Paypal.

Yes, that can be done by simply posting a link for payment by stripe in a forum post.
There may be another way to integrate Stripe with Discourse directly.

That could work, but I want to auto assign a group once the payment is successful.

I’m not sure if that could be automated or you could just do that manually.
That may be a feature request I tried a search for that looks like there has been some talk about that already or similar questions.
Found this one, don’t know if there is anything helpful here:

It can be automated with the current subscriptions plugin (it listens to webhook), but I’m wondering how to link it to the Stripe payment link.

I found a plugin that may be useful for my case: [Stripe Donations Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/stripe-donations-plugin/59036)
It is unmaintained though I will try it out and update you.
EDIT: It seems to have a custom payment page just like the others, will continue to look

Take a look in #plugins Examples include [Patreon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-patreon-integration/44366), [Procourse Memberships](https://meta.discourse.org/t/procourse-memberships/57558/) and [Subscriptia](https://meta.discourse.org/t/subscriptia-simple-paid-memberships/99275). If you have an existing website which handles such memberships you can also deliver group membership information via your SSO payload. Users can’t charge others fees directly on a site they don’t own, would it make sense for them to even be able to?
