Allow option to open Stripe payment website

[codergautam (gautam)]

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.

[anon65426961]

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:

Stripe Payment Gateway feature request

This is underway and should be wrapped up next week. Address fields will be passed to Stripe and captured for the Stripe customer.

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.

Discourse Subscriptions - user not removed from group when subscription cancelled

Continuing the discussion from Discourse Subscriptions: Possible bug: A user is added to the Discourse group when a subscription starts, but the user is not removed when the subscription is cancelled. I’ve cancelled via Discourse (logged in as the user) and cancelled via Stripe’s website, but in neither case was the test user removed from the group. Perhaps it is relevant that I am still in Stripe test mode. I’m putting this in the “bug” category but if I’m missing something then feel free t…

I found a plugin that may be useful for my case: Stripe Donations Plugin

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

Here is other topic with similar question:

User monetization with group access?

Is it possible for users to charge a fee to permit other users access to their groups, and related group materials? I know it is not an off-the-shelf feature, but is it possible?

User monetization with group access?

Paid group membership (in turn granting access to specific categories) is an existing feature. Take a look in #plugins Examples include Patreon, Procourse Memberships and Subscriptia. 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?

This would likely be the best answer, but is unfinished. You might like to contribute to the project:

Allow subscription of predetermined length

@Alex_王 @Jonathan5 @nathank if you want you can try out the updated code you can check out the branch from this PR: you will have to run the stripe cli locally to relay the webhook messages. This is the command to use: stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:4200/subscriptions/hooks --api-key yourapikey you also need to add the stripe webhook secret to the discourse instance (as the plugin setting “webhook secret”). You can find it in the code sample on the right in the webhook creatio…
